Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recurring
When negotiating the price, factor in the immediate costs of replacing the front shock absorbers and the rear brake discs and pads, as both were flagged in the 2026 MOT. You should also ask for evidence of why the Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) was inoperative in both 2025 and 2026, as this could point to underlying electrical or sensor issues.
Request a detailed service history to see if the suspension and braking issues have been addressed beyond the minimum MOT requirements. Given the repeated issues with the parking brake and brake binding, a professional inspection of the rear braking assembly is essential before committing to the purchase.
As a 1.75L diesel Euro 6 vehicle, this Vito is likely to fall into a moderate tax band and should be compliant with most UK Low Emission Zones. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but the Pure CDI engine is designed for efficiency in commercial applications.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles can be higher than for standard passenger cars. Expect higher-than-average costs for parts like shock absorbers and brake components, especially given the wear patterns seen in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are likely to be significant.
The most critical area to inspect is the suspension and braking system. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with shock absorber oil misting since 2025 and recent reports of distorted road wheels and a binding rear brake. You must check the condition of all four shock absorbers and the integrity of the rear brake discs and pads.
Additionally, investigate the electrical system. The vehicle has failed twice for an inoperative Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), which is a serious safety and emissions-related failure. Ensure the dashboard warning lights function correctly and that no fault codes remain stored in the ECU. Finally, check the condition of the tyres, as the 2026 record noted a tyre worn close to the legal limit on the inner edge.
This 2020 Mercedes-Benz Vito 110 Pure CDI has covered 74,769 miles in approximately six years, which is consistent with commercial use. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures involving shock absorbers, braking components, and engine warning lights. While it passed its most recent test in July 2026, the list of advisories indicates several components are nearing the end of their functional life.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Mercedes-Benz Vito 110 Pure CDI to provide a comparative baseline.
