For sale. Vito 112 cdi. This van was my work van since 2013 and has been an absolute joy to own. I got it with 160k and is now just over 200k. As a Mercedes technician, anything that has needed replacing on the way has been done and done properly with Mercedes-Benz or quality parts and basically drives like new. There is a parts list below of the jobs that have been done throughout ownership.
I am selling as a project for someone who wants a meaty, mechanically healthy van as i am forced to sell for financial reasons and have a long wheelbase van i now use for work. Because of this i have been unable to finish it off. I have got as far as finishing most of the mechanical bits as the A/C needs to be looked at, a rear lamp has got a crack in it with no white light showing (passed MOT) and the right sliding door lock sticks sometimes but can be locked and alarmed with the key if this happens. The MOT was done a few days ago with no advisories. There is a fair bit of cosmetic work that needs to be done in order to look smart as the front nearside door is rusty and the rear loading door has been dented and needs replacing. I have a new replacement door to go with it which has no dents and primed. Other than that the nearside and offside front quatre panels have recently been replaced but the rest of the bodywork will pretty much need a full respray. This van would be great for someone to pick up and do a load of jobs without any worries but would make something like a great camper if tarted up a bit. Its bone dry underneath with no oil leaks and no rust and all the chassis and key structural components have been undercoated and sealed a few years ago (no rust under sealant). The oil has just been changed with Mercedes-Benz commercial oil and has had full services at least once a year, replacing oil, air and fuel filters each time. The transmission oil has been changed twice throughout ownership as have the pollen filters. A new witter tow bar and electrics where fitted around 3 years ago. Replaced parts list are as follows:
left and right front wheel bearings
front brake disks and pads
rear brake disks and pads
brake fluid
handbrake shoes and rebuild kits
left and right Sachs front suspension struts and springs
left and right Sachs rear suspension dampers and springs
left and right front MB strut top mounts and bearings
new steering rack fitted and power steering oil flush
left and right tie rods
left and right inner and outer cv boot kits
dual mass flywheel
three piece clutch
release bearing
MB manual transmission oil replaced
2 x fuel injector replaced
alternator
auxiliary belt idler pulleys and poly v belt
water pump and coolant change
new tires all round
all wheels refurbed and balanced
left and right front wishbone arms and bushes
front anti-roll bar bushes
left and right front anti-roll bar drop links
down pipe back exhaust system
winsdscreen replacement
All in all it's very fast and a great reliable van and would make a perfect camper or something with some cosmetic work.
There is a sound system with radio, a Sony head unit, two JBL door speakers in the front and two 6x9's on the bulk head with a big JBL amp under the seat.
I have invested a lot of money into this van of which i am not looking to get back but would be glad to see it go on in good health. I am asking for £1850 offers welcome. Please call on 07837028083. Thanks, Phil.
