Merc Vito van - anything to look out for?
Discussion
We have run 6 of them,4 currently. We ran Scudo's and Despatch's before that, Vito's are notably better.
They are pretty good, but in 2 of them the ignition barrel has 'collapsed' into the dash (not expensive, but inconvenient).
The 109 is OK, but the larger engined ones are better all rounders.Look for uneven tyre wear and check when the next service is due using the button on the dash. We have had one stolen, all have been broken into at least once, so security is an issue; all of ours now have aramaplate lock covers which are excellent. Ply lining, roofracks and a bulkhead cost a fair few ££ so if you need them, make sure they are already fitted.
Dealers are terrible - Customer 'service' is laughably bad, by far the worst that I have encountered.
