2017 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · WN67 FKB

The 2026‑03‑17 MOT at 88,024 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness, but the preceding 2025‑04‑10 failure — showing a brake hydraulic reservoir near the minimum mark and a fractured offside rear coil spring — indicates that previous issues were addressed before the latest test, suggesting an improving maintenance trend. Mileage has climbed from 42,990 miles in October 2020 to 88,024 miles by July 2026, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year; the interval from 2025‑04‑10 to 2026‑03‑17 added about 14,600 miles in eleven months, a sharp rise compared with the more modest gains of 1–2 k miles in earlier years, implying heightened usage in the recent period. A buyer should therefore scrutinise the suspension, as the coil‑spring fracture points to possible stress on rear bushes and mounting points, and verify that the brake system has been fully serviced — checking pad thickness, disc condition, and brake fluid level — since earlier tests recorded pads under 1.5 mm and discs worn beyond acceptable limits, while the tyre records showing exposed cords on all wheels demand immediate replacement and a close look at tread depth and sidewall condition. Overall, the vehicle meets current legal standards but the documented wear patterns and recent high mileage warrant a comprehensive physical inspection of the braking, suspension and tyre assemblies before committing to purchase.
