2019 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · SF69 WSZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes across all recorded tests. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2022 at 25,100 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a cut offside rear tyre. This specific defect did not reach the structural cords, indicating that while the vehicle experienced minor impact damage, the mechanical integrity remained within legal parameters at the time of the test. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 3,586 miles per annum. Between September 2020 and September 2021, the vehicle covered 4,835 miles, followed by another 4,351 miles in the subsequent year until the 2022 test. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short-distance tasks, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain components and suspension compared to high-mileage commercial vehicles. However, the gap since September 2022 is a point of concern, as the low mileage may suggest the vehicle has sat for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation during low-mileage operation, such as rubber-based suspension bushes and brake components. Stated brake discs can develop surface pitting or seized calipers if the vehicle is not driven frequently. Given that the last MOT was recorded nearly four years ago, it is essential to verify the current condition of the tyres for flat spots or age- cracking, as the 2022 advisory no longer reflects the state of the rubber today.
