2015 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.6L Diesel · P7 EKV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in attention to minor consumable items. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 67,678 miles, the van passed with advisories for a frayed offside seat belt and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. These issues mirror concerns from the 2024 and 2023 tests, suggesting a recurring lack of preventative replacement for minor components compared to the clean records seen in 2021 and 2022. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 49,821 miles and October 2025 at 67,678 miles, the vehicle covered 17,857 miles. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to rubber perish degradation or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside seat belt webbing for further degradation, as this fault has persisted across three consecutive testing years and will eventually require replacement to pass. The recurring reports of front tyre damage and uneven wear indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that need to be verified by a technician. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures, a physical inspection of the chassis for rust and the suspension components is necessary to ensure the low mileage hasn't masked underlying age-related decay.
