What problems to look out for on the Mercedes-Benz Vito
I am buying a Vito van for a campervan conversion it has a 2.2TD engine.
Is this a good engine and does it have any faults that I should look out for? It has done 160.000 miles but it had a new engine at 100.000miles. He said he has all the paperwork and he seems a really genuine bloke and I trust him.

Same basic 2.1 litre Mercedes engine used in everything, including the Chrysler PT Cruiser, C Class and E Class. Can have trouble removing glowlugs from the head if they fail. And the turbo needs idling from hot after a long ascent, after towing, or after hauling a heavy load.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
