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.

- 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).
