Van life with the Mercedes Vito
A mid-size model with a big reputation, the Mercedes Vito has long been a van to watch, despite sometimes falling into the shadow of its big brother, the Sprinter. The backing of Mercedes quality certainly still gives the Vito a well-deserved boost, as do the spacious load areas and useful onboard tech, including a 7-inch touchscreen, inbuilt sat-nav, and compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Much like the famously adaptable Sprinter, the Vito is available in a range of configurations depending on usage, with the option of three different vehicle lengths, three trim levels (Mercedes standard pure, progressive, and premium,) and a range of diesel engines (1.7/2.0 litres.)
The Vito’s only real flaw is its high price tag which, while admittedly closing competitive gaps since the latest third-gen release, is still right up there. That said, for those willing to pay for the quality of comfort, the Vito definitely won’t disappoint.
All Vito models incorporate stop-start, low rolling resistance tyres and aerodynamic panels for efficiency. The 57-litre standard fuel tank should enable around 420 miles between fills. Comparatively, the larger 70-litre option can comfortably add another 100 miles to that figure, making this a great and undeniably comfortable option for long-haul trips.
Does your Mercedes Vito prop shaft need replacing?
The most common faults in Mercedes Vito prop shafts occur in the second joint back from the gearbox, with noisy or worn centre bearings also often making themselves known. In theory, a Mercedes prop shaft should be good for between 100,000-150,000 miles, but some signs that you could benefit from a replacement include –
Under wheel vibrations
Strange noises (clicking, squeaking, clunking)
A loose prop shaft
And more
