2021 Mercedes-Benz Vito 114 Progressive CDI 1.8L Diesel · NL21 XSD

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status, evidenced by three consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 112,170 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents mechanical or structural failures from reaching the testing stage. The mileage profile reveals high-intensity usage for a five-year-old van. Between the 2024 test at 32,517 miles and the 2025 test at 92,014 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 60,000 miles in a single year. Another 20,000 miles were logged prior to the March 2026 test. This average of over 22,000 miles per year is consistent with commercial or long-distance motorway use, which places significant strain on heavy-duty components compared to typical private ownership. Given the high mileage accumulation, an in-person physical inspection must focus on components subject to accelerated wear under heavy loads. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, control arm ball, and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue at this mileage. The braking system should be checked for thin discs and worn pads, as the high-frequency driving likely leads to rapid thermal cycling and mechanical wear. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, the high mileage warrants a thorough look at the chassis and drivetrain mounts to ensure the vehicle remains robust for continued use.
