2015 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · YA64 WYL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 August 2025 with 49,337 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as recurring minor defects were only addressed immediately following failures. While the vehicle failed two tests in 2025, the issues were limited to non-critical items rather than deep mechanical or structural failures, suggesting the owner is willing to perform necessary repairs when prompted by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old van, averaging approximately 4,485 miles per year. The data shows a significant stagnation in usage between June 2024 at 49,111 miles and June 2025 at 49,323 miles, representing only 212 miles covered in a full year. This pattern indicates the vehicle sits for long periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished brake seals, and fluid contamination due to lack of regular operation. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front suspension and tyre fitment following the August 2025 failure for a tyre fouling the vehicle. This fault can indicate a bent rim or a failed suspension component that has shifted the wheel geometry. Given the extremely low annual mileage, a thorough physical check is required for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, as these often occur when vehicles remain stationary. The washer system should also be checked for leaks or blocked nozzles following the previous failure for insufficient liquid delivery.
