Mercedes Vitos and rust

[muckymotor]

Is there a year and onwards where these don't rust like a Lancia Beta? I'm considering a 2012 model and although it is pristine now I don't want to get a couple of years down the line and it starts to turn orange. I'd rather avoid a vw t5 as the trendy extreme sport wannabes have pushed the prices upwards.

After a bit of digging around it seems 2007 is the year the bodywork improves.

Not sure about that seen a few 10 and 11 plates with bad rust on them.

More confusion then. They are supposed to be fully galvanised from late 2006.
