Mercedes Vito reviews

Excellent vehicle engine wise , body work rusted really bad

A vast improvement on the previous model, with more power and better economy.

Ive had my merc from new i use it as a taxi ive done 365600 miles sstill got the same original clutch hasent cost me to much in repairs .i get it serviced every 10000 miles .very reliable car a joy to drive

I was reluctant to get another Vito after the disaster with my 2002 model. This one is much better, though uses a bit more fuel, perhaps it's the auto transmission. After 3 years and 40000 miles I can report: no problems. long service interval, brilliant in the winter on winter tyres, very comfortable. Only hiccup is that the auto transmission gets sometimes stuck in 3rd gear (limp mode?) but a restart has always solved this. HAd to replace a broken key at too great an expense. Done 110000 miles now.

Ideal company car alternative. Mainly for commercial tax, but room,quick,quite flash, comfortable and safe. Found this van to be a real head turner and is the quickest van on the road.

Love the space. Excellent for a large family with lots of sports kits to carry around. Easy to drive. Good visibility. Awful handling in icy conditions. Expensive on road tax and insurance (this dualiner is not on standard lists for non-commercial use). Fuel consumption OK for size of vehicle but could be better than around 23 miles / gallon round town. Had lots of niggles with the rear wiring, otherwise very reliable. Tyres seem to last forever. Front demister could be better. Non-merc spares much more affordable and readily available eg exhaust.

Not too heavy on diesel once in the cruise gear.Long journeys are a pleasure.Big enough to collect goods from the warehouse and child friendly for the grand children.A working mans Rolls Royce!

I bought this car so I could transport 8 people or carry 1000kG load. It does it very well but only averages 30mpg.
