What to Look For When Buying Used
- Service History: Crucial for Mercedes vans. Look for documented services, ideally from a Mercedes specialist, showing regular oil and filter changes.
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Common issue on vans used for short, stop-start journeys. Look for DPF warning lights or inquire about regeneration history. Replacements are costly (£1,000+).
- Rust Spots: While better than older Vitos, check wheel arches, sills, and rear door surrounds for early signs of rust.
- Timing Chain (OM651/OM654): Generally reliable but listen for rattles on start-up. The OM622 (1.6L) uses a timing chain.
- AdBlue System: Check dashboard for AdBlue warning lights. Issues with the AdBlue injector or tank can be expensive.
- Automatic Gearbox (7G-Tronic/9G-Tronic): Ensure smooth shifts. Hesitation or clunking could indicate a problem.
- Electrics: Test all electrics, including windows, central locking, and infotainment.
Running Costs for Businesses
- Typical Insurance: Mercedes Vitos generally fall into insurance groups 22-30 (van groups). Annual premiums vary widely but expect £600-£1,200 for a typical business policy.
- Fuel Economy:
- 1.6L CDI (111 CDI): Up to 45-50 mpg (combined, real-world).
- 2.1L CDI (114/116 CDI): Up to 40-45 mpg (combined, real-world).
- Servicing: Main dealer servicing can be pricey. A 'Service A' (minor) can be around £250-£350, 'Service B' (major) £450-£650+. Independent specialists often offer better value.
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance: As all post-2014 Vitos are Euro 6, they are compliant with all current UK ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zones) and CAZ (Clean Air Zones).
Is the Mercedes Benz Vito Right For Your Business?
The Mercedes-Benz Vito is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a mid-sized van with a premium feel and strong residual values. It’s particularly suited for:
- Tradespeople: Plumbers, electricians, and carpenters who need reliable, efficient transport with decent cargo space.
- Delivery Companies: Especially for urban or inter-city deliveries where ULEZ compliance is critical.
- Professionals: Who require a more refined and comfortable van experience for client visits or carrying specialised equipment.
Alternatives to consider include: Ford Transit Custom (UK bestseller, robust), Volkswagen Transporter (cult status, strong residuals), Vauxhall Vivaro (shares platform with Peugeot Expert/Citroën Dispatch, efficient), and Renault Trafic.
