2018 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · WU68 EYB

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the September 2025 test at 27,947 miles. This recent result follows a period of minor mechanical and consumable issues that have since been resolved. The maintenance trend shows clear improvement, moving from multiple failures between 2021 and 2023 to three consecutive years of defect-free inspections. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,493 miles per year. The records show consistent, incremental increases in distance, such as the 4,191-mile rise between September 2024 and September 2025. While this low mileage suggests light duty, the intermittent failures on tyres and wipers suggest the vehicle may have spent periods stationary, which can lead to uneven tyre wear or perished rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre pressure monitoring system, as this specific fault recurred in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 tests. Although the vehicle passed without mention of this sensor in recent years, its history of malfunction warrants a functional check. The 2023 failure also flagged thin front brake pads and a cut tyre, indicating that while the vehicle is now compliant, previous owners occasionally neglected basic consumable maintenance. Given the low annual mileage, I recommend inspecting the battery health and checking for any signs of fluid weeping or perished rubber hoses that often accompany long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no evidence of structural corrosion or suspension failures, the recurring tyre-related advisories and failures suggest that regular pressure checks and tread depth monitoring should be prioritised by the next owner.
