2015 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · YG65 ACY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 5 September 2025 at 98 059 miles, but the test recorded three advisories: a windscreen chip that does not affect the driver’s view, the rear‑outer tyre worn close to the legal limit on both sides, and the front brake disc showing wear that is not yet excessive. The pattern of defects over the past eight years shows a stable to slightly worsening trend, with brake‑disc wear recurring (rear disc in 2023, front disc in 2025) and tyre condition deteriorating (nail puncture in 2020, edge wear in 2025). Overall the car remains roadworthy, yet the accumulation of wear items suggests that routine maintenance has been adequate but not aggressive enough to prevent gradual degradation of consumables. Mileage accumulation has been fairly consistent since 2018, rising from 29 835 miles in August 2018 to 98 059 miles in September 2025. Annual increases range from 6 465 miles (2020‑2021) to 14 525 miles (2021‑2022), averaging roughly 8 900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an 11‑year‑old vehicle. The MOT entries are annual without significant gaps, indicating regular testing and a clear mileage record. A prospective buyer should inspect the braking system closely, checking both front and rear discs for uneven wear and ensuring the pads have not reached the wear limit indicated in the 2018 advisory. Tyre condition demands attention: verify tread depth on the rear‑outer tyre and look for uneven wear patterns that could signal alignment or suspension issues. The windscreen should be examined for chips and cracks, even if they are deemed non‑critical, as they can propagate. A visual check for oil seepage around the engine and under‑body will confirm whether the 2022 oil‑leak advisory has been resolved. Finally, a walk‑around for suspension bush condition and any signs of corrosion on chassis components is advisable, given the repeated tyre and brake wear observations.
