Mercedes-Benz Vito 111 2009

1 star review

I used to think Mercedes Benz and quality were a match made in heaven. How wrong was I? I would rate this van in reliabilty states as utter rubbish. The hand brake kept failing resulting in a van that could not park on a hill. The engine management system played up and I spent another day less revenue waiting for it to be fixed. The rear brakes and shoes were replaced after 20000 miles totally worn away and it’s only 14 months old. If it wasn’t on lease I’d ditch it tomorrow and buy something decent.

Mercedes-Benz Vito Minibus 2009

1 star review

Bought new with 14miles on clock, 18 months later 42,000m timing chain snapped. Renault don’t want to know saying it’s out of warranty! How can this be? It’s under 2 years old and under 100,000 miles. What’s the point of the warranty then? They think I’ll buy another one? NOT LIKELY!

Mercedes-Benz Vito 2009

1 star review

My front tyres are like slicks on the outer edge. And the engine has used 8 litres of oil, and its only done 9000 miles. It has real bad clutch judder and it’s had the front anti roll bar bushes replaced. It grinds into second gear and drinks diesel like a 44ton artic. Just wish I had got another Iveco instead.

Mercedes-Benz Vito 115 sport 2009

1 star review

Looks good but thats it. 3 months down the line suspension/steering knocking, electric windows failed, ignition failed, starter failed, bonnet catch holder failed, under seat locker failed, gearbox crashed into 2nd and 3rd, stiff to change from cold, no power at set off and kept stalling. 12 months later jacking point failed, spare wheel ratchet/sticker faulty, front tyres completely bald on outside edges at 10,000 miles. MPG 21 locally 28 motorway Merc said everything seems to be ok. rev it more. dont quick shift. It’s had a recall, "Inflate the tyres more". "Swap the tyres from front to back". "We can set the camber but you will have to pay for it". More excuses from the dealership...... Just a point, did Mercedes advertise this van with low life cycle costs?

1 star review

Lovely to drive when its going or not in the garage or being fixed. Tracking problems within 5000 miles doors not fitting and catching on bodywork, sliding doors falling off, rust within 2 years now rust all over, roll bar bushes 5 sets, drive shafts replaced, head gone. All in all the biggest heap of rubbish I have ever had the misfortune to own. I recommend all who ask to avoid the Vito and buy something else.

Mercedes-Benz Vito 115 sport compact 2009

4 star review

This is my second Vito and the Sport 115 is worth the extra money for the comfortable options included. The engine over my previous 111cdi is not only more powerful, but more efficient in overall daily terms of both fuel economy and performance. A Vito van is a quality product with a great cabin and driver appeal that swallows up the miles with ease. For a van I feel it has the edge over the Transporter, its immediate competitor, and I will buy another model when or if it becomes facelifted without hesitation. Residule values are excellent also.
