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

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz Vito 116CDI Tourer Select Auto presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test, conducted on 17 July 2025 at 45,373 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This follows two further clean passes on 10 July 2024 at 35,709 miles and 22 July 2023 at 26,428 miles. The absence of any advisories or failures across all three recorded tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by any tester over a three-year window. The mileage accumulation is steady and entirely typical for a six-year-old commercial-derived MPV. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 9,281 miles, and between July 2024 and July 2025 it covered 9,664 miles, averaging roughly 7,562 miles per annum over its life. There are no suspicious gaps in the record that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer irregularities. The annual MOT tests fall within a consistent July window each year, suggesting a regular servicing and testing routine rather than reactive or deferred maintenance. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress. The rear suspension bushes and coil springs on high-mileage Vito models can develop play that only manifests under load, so a road test over varied surfaces is advisable. The automatic transmission should be checked for smooth shifts across all gears, as the 7G-TRONIC unit can develop harsh engagement if the fluid has not been changed at the recommended 60,000-mile interval, which this vehicle is approaching. Brake disc thickness and pad condition should be physically measured, since the MOT only flags brakes once they have reached a critical threshold, and a 45,000-mile vehicle used for mixed loads may have uneven wear. Structurally, the Vito's bodywork and load floor should be inspected for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches, sill edges, and sliding door mechanisms, as these are common failure points on panel vans used commercially. The exhaust system and DPF should be assessed for soot loading, especially if the mileage has been accumulated predominantly on short urban trips. Tyre condition and alignment should also be checked, as uneven inner edge wear on the rear tyres is a known issue with this platform when used unladen. Overall, the MOT data paints a picture of a well-kept vehicle, but a hands-on inspection remains essential to confirm that the mechanical and structural condition matches the paper record.
