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

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-22 at 49,296 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a prior test on 2025-09-16 at 49,290 miles showed a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or technical anomaly. The absence of recorded issues in the latest test implies no immediate mechanical concerns, but the proximity of the failure and pass raises questions about the reliability of the testing process. Mileage progression aligns with expected usage, averaging roughly 9,859 miles annually since 2021. The 2024-09-30 test at 39,885 miles showed a pass with no defects, followed by a 9,411-mile increase to 49,296 miles by 2025-09-22. This steady accumulation suggests consistent operation without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. The data lacks gaps or irregularities, supporting a maintenance pattern of regular use and minimal neglect. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without visible defects. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant inspection for binding or uneven wear, as these often manifest gradually. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be assessed, as minor issues in these areas may not trigger immediate MOT failures. While the record shows no overt faults, the recent failure highlights the importance of a hands-on check to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
