2021 Mercedes-Benz Vito 114 Progressive CDI 1.8L Diesel · WN71 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-17 at 33,841 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on the same date and mileage failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential inconsistencies in testing or data entry. The 2024-08-22 test at 22,951 miles passed with no issues, while the preceding 2024-08-19 test at the same mileage failed without defects. This pattern of repeated pass/fail outcomes at identical mileages raises questions about the reliability of the MOT records, though the latest result is positive. The vehicle’s mileage of 33,841 miles over five years aligns with average usage, averaging 6,768 miles annually. A significant jump from 22,951 miles (2024-08-22) to 33,841 miles (2025-07-17) occurred within 11 months, suggesting increased usage or potential odometer discrepancies. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, making it difficult to assess underlying mechanical trends. The absence of recorded issues in the latest test is reassuring, but the sparse data limits confidence in long-term maintenance patterns. Buyers should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points in vehicles of this age. The rear brakes and exhaust system warrant scrutiny, as minor faults in these areas often go unrecorded. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or panel damage may not surface in MOT tests. While the latest MOT indicates compliance, the inconsistent testing history necessitates a thorough mechanical check to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond documented records.
