Van Specifications
Description
Drive away in this superb and lovely spec Mercedes Vito Premium 119 CDI 7G Auto! Please don't mistake this for lesser spec vans or earlier versions, this is the face lift Premium with the bomb proof 2.1 Mercedes turbo diesel Euro 6 and ULEZ compliant engine, coupled to the 7g auto gearbox and in long wheel base guise! This is the one to have, over and above the later 2.0 versions which have already shown unreliability in comparison to these legendary 2.1's.
This van is in excellent overall condition and has covered a genuine 142k miles!! It's finished in silver metallic which shines from top to toe and is in superb condition! The van is HPI clear, has 4 matching Continental tyres and has a Full Mercedes Vans Service History.
MOT runs until November 2026, however will be renewed for the new owner. This van has been meticulously maintained since new by its one and only owner! It has a comprehensive MB service history and was last serviced at 131226miles in October!
It comes complete with 1 key, digital service record, bookpack and V5C. The interior is in great overall condition with only minor wear! The exterior is exceptional for the year, though being a used van may have tiny marks/stone chips etc.
Any prospective buyer will not be disappointed. This is the desirable 'Premium' variant which includes remote central locking (1 key), loads of airbags, power steering, climatic control with ice cold air conditioning, alloy wheels, electric windows, electric folding and adjustable mirrors, onboard trip computer, adjustable steering wheel, automatic lights, daytime running lights, DAB radio, Apple CarPlay, cruise control, automatic wipers, front and rear parking sensors with rear view camera, gear shift paddles and loads more! The engine and drive train is silky smooth, and can genuinely return 40mpg!
This van has just ticked over 142k miles; this is absolutely nothing for one of these bomb proof Merc 4 cylinder 2.1 diesel engines, especially considering its exemplary history! Suspension is knock free and the engine is a delight! This is a lovely example and drives exceptionally.

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.

- 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?

- 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.
