Vito's are top vans mate, I cant fault them. Mercedes just go and go, I havent had anything go wrong with mine at all (touch wood)

The only thing I would say is that there is not much storage in the front cab wise, not even a proper glove box in there plus I hear the new vivaro comes with a cooler box in there glove >:(

They are a little bit large for trad though I think.

  I have a Y plate vito, I use it for wfp, but also have my triple ladder inside, had to take a headrest out though!
   Mine has done over 150000 miles and still drives fine, had to have a new wheel bearing in front drivers side last year at Xmas, sounds like the other side is starting to go now.
  Other than that no problems at all.

I have a vito and they are really good vans. They drive brill and you get a loud of room in the back.

It's true about a ladder in the back...I have had a double in the back of mine...minus the head rest tho. ;)
 ;D
I now have wfp in the back and the vans still got room !

You won't be sorry if you decide to buy one.

We brought two Vito vans 18 months ago . They have been excellent.

Good vans but they won't take the weight needed for a comprehensive WFP setup.

Far better to look at the VW Transporter with heavy load 1200kgs.

I have the vw 1200 , spot on van , not cost me a penny in a year , my only grumble is the length of it , maybe i wll get the lwb next time , i dont mind keeping the extenders and universals on the roof , but i am drawing a line at my facelift , no scrote is having that away !

Old style Vitos can take up to 1060 kgs. New ones are about 950 unless you get the extra long wheel base version.
