2021 Mercedes-Benz Evito Progressive Electricity · WR71 OKK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history reveals a concerning lapse in maintenance standards regarding safety components. While the van passed its test in May 2026 at 11,770 miles, it had failed just four days prior at 11,698 miles with multiple critical defects. The presence of significantly worn front brake discs and sub-standard parking brake efficiency indicates that fundamental mechanical upkeep of the vehicle's braking system had been neglected until the annual test forced attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,354 miles per year. There is a clear gap in usage between the recorded tests; between the clean May 2025 test at 9,768 miles and the failed May 2026 test, the vehicle covered only 2,002 miles. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain, it can lead to issues such as brake corrosion or seal degradation from infrequent use, which may explain the parking brake efficiency failure noted in the 2026 record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the worn discs and pads have been properly replaced and that the parking brake now operates within specification. The offside front upper drag link ball joint was flagged for a damaged dust cover in 2026, although this did not cause a failure, it should be monitored to prevent premature joint failure. Additionally, the missing mirror covers and misaligned washer jets are minor cosmetic and functional issues that reflect a general lack of attention to detail by the previous owner.
