2021 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.9L Diesel · RF21 MYB

The roadworthiness status of this Mercedes-Benz Vito is currently sound, backed by an immediate pass on 24 July 2026 at 123,952 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend reflects a clear improvement following a failure two years prior, as subsequent annual tests in July 2025 at 96,243 miles and July 2026 yielded clean passes without any advisories. High-mileage accumulation defines the vehicle history, with the odometer advancing at an intensive average of roughly 24,790 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. The running total climbed rapidly from 69,219 miles in July 2024 to 96,243 miles by July 2025, and reached 123,952 miles by July 2026. This heavy commercial use places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, steering components, and suspension geometry compared to standard private vehicles of the same age. Prospective buyers should carefully inspect the areas flagged during the July 2024 failure, where the vehicle was refused a certificate due to an inoperative nearside rear parking brake, an insecure offside front headlamp, failed washer jets, and degraded wiper blades. Given the demanding mileage accumulation, a thorough ramp inspection is recommended to check the condition of the rear brake discs, calipers, and parking brake cables, alongside an examination of the front suspension bushes and steering joints for premature wear.
