Ok then ive read the other reviews ad im very surprised, I bought the van new fully specd excluding alloys as I work in london and know what wheels go through. Ive used it for work, camping, travelling and it laps it all up. A review here said that rear wheel drive vans were absolutly rubbish... yes the van does slip a bit if you go fast round wet roundabouts, but what I find is that the back stepping out is predictable and easy to correct...if your any sort of a good driver. Ive been caught in foot deep snow in norfolk and the only vehicals making it through... you guessed it the vitos... If your a poor driver that panics then you need to learn how to handle a rear wheel drive. 111 is plenty powerfull I didnt see the point going for the v6 too heavy for doing 5mph in london, constantly get 400-420 on a fill up. Im writing this review as im getting my new one in april, exactly the same but its now the 113 I believe. From new parts wise upto this year it has only needed tyres brakes.. however this year it needed a erv valve, the aircon this summer decided to develope a leak, and the rear springs have snapped a 1" bit off the end. My biggest mistake was having qwikfit disks and pads fitted I fell for the free pads waffle, the rwal pisser is they cost more than the merc proper parts and have squeeked and faded since new.. thank god theyve now been changed. Dont go for remote locking as you need to srand infront of the drivers door to activate it...which in my book isnt really remote....!!!! The reviewer said it dents easy... yep it will so have the inside lined for 80 quid and dont drive into things I think it has been a great van

Having owned 5 previous vans of various makes and models this is by far the best purchase l have made. 2007 Extra Long WB, 111 CDI Owned for 4 years and no problems. Front tyres wear on the outer a little fast, however, l still go 19000 miles out of the last set (only a budget pair of tyres). Fantastic Van

I am owner of Vito 111 Extra long 2007, shame for Mercedes so far in my experience on Vito put me of on Mercedes VANS and CARS, the Vito worse van ever I had. I ask many people who’s have Vito they told me same thing, electric ways very bad every day different light coming on in dash cost way dear to fix and body get rust everywhere making nose, I advise every one don’t spend your money to buy Mercedes Vito VAN or other merc VAN not worthy. Just go get transit van or any other I am sure much better you make right dissection better then Mercedes don’t go for name, I am very regret to bought the Vito spend over £10000 :( contact me if you have any question leos-(at)live.co.uk 03/08/2012
