2020 Mercedes-Benz Vito 116CDI Tourer Select Auto 1.9L Diesel · WA20 RYR

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz Vito 116CDI Tourer Select Auto presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend across its four recorded MOT entries. The most recent test, conducted on 14 May 2026 at 71,419 miles, passed with zero defects, marking a clean bill of health barely a month before today's date. Looking back through the sequence, every single test from July 2023 onward has passed without a single advisory or failure point. This is a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high standard, with no recurring faults, no emerging mechanical concerns, and no structural corrosion flagged at any stage. The trend is not merely stable but exemplary. The mileage accumulation tells a coherent story of regular, moderate use. Between the July 2023 test at 47,197 miles and the June 2024 test at 63,192 miles, the van covered 15,995 miles in just under twelve months, which sits above the typical annual average for its age. From June 2024 to June 2025, the mileage increased by 7,806 miles to 70,998, and then by only 421 miles in the final year leading to May 2026. That sharp drop in the most recent interval suggests the vehicle may have been used less intensively over the past twelve months, or possibly stood idle for extended periods. No gaps exist in the MOT record that would raise concern about untested periods of use. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests only sample. The front suspension wishbones and rear leaf springs on the Vito platform are worth examining for bush deterioration, particularly given the higher-than-average mileage accumulated in the 2023 to 2024 period. The automatic transmission should be checked for smooth engagement and fluid condition, as the 116CDI's 9G-TRONIC unit can develop hesitation if servicing has been neglected. Brake discs and pads at all four corners merit close inspection, even though no braking defects have appeared on record, because the van's weight as a Tourer variant places higher demand on the braking system. Finally, inspect the body sills, wheel arches, and floor pan for any early signs of corrosion, as the van's age and commercial underpinnings mean structural integrity depends heavily on how well it has been kept.
