2009 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · T25 RAK

The Vito presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 May 2022 at 263,914 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The two earlier failures on 4 June 2020 at 261,935 miles and 24 June 2021 at 262,051 miles both list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than genuine mechanical rejection. The recorded mileage sits at 263,914 miles against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 15,524 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to sustained hard use. The gap between the 2020 and 2021 tests shows only around 116 miles added, then just 1,858 miles to the 2022 pass, suggesting the vehicle was little used in its final three recorded years. Such low recent accumulation after heavy earlier service can allow corrosion and seized components to develop through standing. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, given the vehicle's seventeen years and high lifetime mileage. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for deterioration unseen in a clean MOT. The drivetrain has covered a substantial distance and should be assessed for wear to clutch, gearbox, and differential. Although the DVSA record is clean of advisories, the sparse five-entry history offers limited insight into consumable condition. Verify the actual odometer against the 2022 figure, as no test exists beyond that date and the vehicle has likely stood unused for over four years.
