2006 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · RN55 ABX

The 2025‑09‑11 MOT at 152,740 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the Vito is presently roadworthy, and the maintenance record shows a stable trend with no worsening mechanical faults since the August 2024 test. Although the vehicle is 20 years old, its mileage averages about 7,637 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The data, however, contain notable anomalies: mileage jumped from 116,923 miles in January 2015 to 207,091 miles a year later, and the 2020 and 2024 tests share identical readings, indicating possible recording errors rather than accelerated wear. Recurring advisories on the front brake hoses, the corroded offside brake pipe, and the repeated deterioration of anti‑roll bar rubber bushes reveal persistent wear in the braking and suspension systems, while the near‑side rear tyre wear close to the legal limit and the occasional coolant leak warning suggest that tyre condition, suspension integrity, and cooling system health should be examined closely. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front brake components, verify the integrity of the suspension bushes and anti‑roll bar, assess tyre tread and sidewall wear, check for any structural rust on the exhaust and brake lines, and confirm that the washer system and headlamp adjustments are functioning correctly.
