2016 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · WR66 UHP

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-10 recorded two minor issues: a nearside windscreen damaged but not affecting the driver’s view, and a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. These defects were classified as “not serious” under MOT guidelines, but they highlight ongoing concerns with tyre condition and glass integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 167,700 miles is high for its age, averaging 16,770 miles annually. This suggests frequent use, which could accelerate wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the exact cause of this mileage—whether consistent driving or periods of inactivity—remains unclear without further data. Recurring windscreen damage appears to be a consistent issue, noted in the 2024, 2023, and 2025 MOTs. While none of these defects were classified as safety-critical, repeated damage may indicate a history of accidents, road debris exposure, or poor maintenance. Tyre-related issues also recur: a 2022 failure cited ply or cord exposure on both front tyres, while the 2025 test flagged a rear tyre near the legal limit. These patterns suggest potential neglect in tyre maintenance or excessive wear from high mileage. The trend in defects shows some improvement.
