2008 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · WK08 ATV

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents as roadworthy following a pass on 9 July 2025 at 143,687 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 8 July 2025 at identical mileage, yet the DVSA record shows no defects listed for either event. A prior failure on 19 July 2023 at 139,706 miles also carried no recorded defects before a pass the next day. Such back-to-back fail-pass pairs with zero advisories suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,983 miles per year against the 143,687 total, which is typical for an eighteen-year-old light commercial vehicle. The record shows 141,906 miles on 3 July 2024 and 139,709 miles on 20 July 2023, giving yearly gains of about 2,200 and 1,800 miles respectively before the 1,781-mile rise to July 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the clean sheet of no defects across every test indicates the keeper addressed requirements promptly or the vehicle saw gentle use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and commercial duty cycle of the Vito. The MOT data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns, but the two defect-free failures imply the recorded history alone cannot confirm road condition on the day of sale. Verify the reason for the 8 July 2025 and 19 July 2023 failures with the testing garages, since missing defect text hides what stopped the vehicle. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody for rust during viewing, as these consumables fall outside the sparse advisory record.
