    purchased a Mercedes Benz VITO van from new and had nothing but problems. within the first 6 months the drivers side door had fallen off and the drivers door stay had snapped, lots of electrical faults, poor driving performance, tyre ware, ignition faults oh and not to mention the rust on every metal panel.

    fitted roof rack to van and was concerned at the offset that there were no fixings to mount it on only painted plastic caps. on raising this with mercedes dealership i was told that this wa ...

    Bought a VITO new in Oct 04 and within first month rust appeared which the dealer did address after many phone calls.
    The rust reappeared in the same places plus more rust inside the van on internal seams.
    The van scrubs front tyres on outer edges. It has had a new steering rack at 70 k new rear suspension at 85 K .
    I'm the only person who drives the van and it does not carry heavy loads.
    Had a VW Transporter for 7yrs before with no such problems in 240 K miles of work

    on 8 occasions including the last visit for two and a half weeks.,MB finance who currently own the vehicle { on hire purchase} claim to resolve any issue within 6 weeks!

    No Spare tyre on a van????? Had the brackets fitted by dealer to accommodate but when I inspected the work they had used a grinder on the chassis to weld to (fair enough) but failed to put any waxoil/underseal on the job when finished, did this myself to avoid returning to the idiots at mercedes. Expensive model but I do like it and it goes like stink.

    Drives beautifully, comfortable. Looks good in black with alloy wheels. Two siding doors is great.
    Great to drive, but resale value will be killed by rust. Mercedes pretend this is almost unheard of.

    This 2005 Mercedes Vito is good to drive and looks considerably better than it's competitors.
    But my first Mercedes has still been a big disapointment due to manufacturing and support.
    It has only had a couple of mechanical failures, quite impresive for 125000 miles. But, rusting bodywork is unacceptable.
    On a commercial vehicle, money is what counts. My local Mercedes service agent charges almost £100 per hour and each repair has had to be corrected at least once.
    I refuse to pay that ra ...

    Van currently with dealer who will check it out whilst im on hols. So far dealers have handled complaint well. But I expect them to cover cost of new tyres or at least make contribution to new tyres.
    Drivers window switch came off in my hands at about 15000 miles. Noticed excessice tyre wear on outside of front tyres at about 10000 miles . stupidly thought it was design of tyre as rest of tyre tread still had so muck tread left. Van had first service at 19000 miles. 800 mile later I found the ou ...

    I own a 4 year old Mercedes Vito traveliner. It has reativly low mileage. (52,000 miles). It has never done any commercial carrying. It has also been well looked after. However, corrosion has been a problem from early days. The first was noticed after about nine months. There was substantial rust inside the sliding doors, also inside the rear light clusters. This was taken care of by Mercedes. Last year I had substantial rust on the underside of the bonnet. This again was taken care of under war ...

    I would not have another Mercedes Benz Vito unless they can rectify rusting. I could live with the other problems: 2 water leaks from loose hose clips, front tyres scrubbing- now fixed, seat splitting for second time, seat belt sticking, sliding door dropped, window cable snapped, failed turbo sensor, alarm problems-returned 7 times in first 2 months, enginner from Germany investigated problems twice, missing heater part (could not prove whose fault as I had sat nav fitted elsewhere), gears stif ...

    My Mercedes Benz Vito is 4 years and 4 months old. 51.000 miles. It has not been used for heavy work. I am a printing press engineer. All it is used for is carrying tools and occasionally personal stuff. The most weight it has carried is a fridge freezer. Considering it has had 2 new shock accsorbers, 1 spring, radiator problems, fuel consumption is not good and has had serious rust problems, it is not good value. Merc don't want to know about ongoing rust problems. I will be changing as soon as ...

    The Mercedes-Benz VITO Could have done with the 150 bhp engine- although 109 bhp is reasonable. Rust is just not acceptable- what will it be like in another 2 years. Have not used Merc. dealers. Garage wanted 350 plus VAT for basic service- change the oil and kick the tyres. I don't think so.

    Nice van if it works. Don't give Mercedes your cash. The quality of their product has improved since a few years ago but it is still not good enough. This was the most expensive van I looked at and could have got a better built vehicle with another dealer for thousands less. I have wasted days of my working time driving the van to the other side of town to the dealer and sitting waiting for the repair or loading all of the materials/tools into the loan van and then back for my van ,unloading /lo ...

    Mercedes would take no responsibility whatsoever. Each time I spoke to somebody different they kept informing me that the radio was not the original one but seemed to get flustered when I informed them that they installed the radio/sat nav system.

    Electric window buttons on my Mercedes-Benz VITO are worn out already. They won't replace the buttons because they say it's the tile adhesive that I use in my job that is wearing them down. My hands are clean the whole time! Water in the fuel filter, but they tell me petrol stations have too much water in their tanks. Not so. It only happens when it rains. Just today I had to drain the fuel filter 25 times in the space of 2 hours. It's fine when it's dry. They have already replaced the injectors ...

    I have just bought a Mercedes 111 CDI Xtra long version. Have owned it for 5 days and up to this point I'm very pleased with it (very early days). However, disaster has just struck!....I picked up two passengers from the airport last night, jumped on the motorway and then BANG! I turned round to my right and the sealed window on the sliding door had exploded and shattered! No one had taken a pot shot at me and no loose stones had flew up and hit the window! I'm convinced this was a manufacturers ...
