Mercedes-Benz Vito kopen

Load space and dimensions: which length suits your work

The Mercedes-Benz Vito van comes in three lengths: compact, long and extra-long. The compact version has a load volume of roughly 5.2 m³ and is agile enough for city centres and narrow streets. The long version offers around 6.0 m³ and is the most popular choice among installers, couriers and maintenance companies. The extra-long Vito reaches around 6.6 m³ and a load length of just over 3.3 metres, handy if you transport pipes, sheets or long materials. When buying a used van, always check the condition of the load floor and wall panelling: dents or rust spots near the lashing points often point to intensive commercial use. Also ask about the payload stated on the registration document, as this varies per engine and version.

Vito van, Mixto or Tourer: the difference

Not every Vito is the same. The closed van is purely for cargo, the Mixto combines a double cab with a separated load area behind it, and the Vito Tourer is the fully glazed passenger version with up to 9 seats. If you're looking for a 'luxury' Vito for passenger transport, group transport or as a taxi shuttle, the Tourer is the right choice, not a van. For businesses transporting both staff and materials, the Mixto is often the most practical in-between solution: full seating up front plus a lockable load area. So determine your intended use first before comparing on price, as the three variants differ significantly in layout, weight and insurance premium.

Buying a used Vito: what to look out for

With a used Vito, the maintenance history is the most important starting point: ask for invoices for services, the timing belt or chain, and any repairs to the particulate filter or AdBlue system, as this is a common concern with many diesel vans with high mileage. Check the load area for leaks around the rear doors and sliding door, and test the tailgate or towbar if fitted. Take a critical look at the ratio between build year and mileage: a Vito that mostly drove on the motorway typically wears differently from a city van with a lot of stop-and-go driving. A recent APK (MOT/TÜV) inspection without remarks and a ready-to-drive delivery give you the confidence to hit the road right away without hidden costs.

Buying a Vito or financial lease: what suits your business

Buying outright means no monthly payments and full ownership from day one, but it does tie up a large sum of money that you can't use elsewhere in your business. Financial lease spreads the purchase over a term of up to 72 months, letting you depreciate the Vito for tax purposes and, in many cases, offset the VAT on the purchase if you drive for business. Financing up to 100% is possible, even as a start-up or self-employed buyer without a long business history, so a down payment isn't always required. If you have a current van you no longer need, trading it in on purchase can easily be combined with either financing option.
