Is the Mercedes-Benz eVito ULEZ compliant?

Most petrol Mercedes-Benz eVitos from 2006 and diesels from September 2015 meet the Euro standards for London ULEZ and other UK clean-air zones, so they are generally exempt from the daily charge. Pure-electric versions are always exempt.

What insurance group is the Mercedes-Benz eVito in?

The Mercedes-Benz eVito sits in insurance group 27 of 50. Your actual premium still depends on age, postcode, annual mileage and no-claims history.

Is the Mercedes-Benz eVito reliable?

Our reliability score for the Mercedes-Benz eVito is 85 out of 100 (excellent), derived from DVSA MOT records, with a first-time MOT pass rate of about 86% at the reference age.

What economy does the Mercedes-Benz eVito get?

Expect roughly around 3.5 miles per kWh for a typical Mercedes-Benz eVito, based on official figures and our running-cost model. Real-world figures vary with driving style, load and conditions.

What are the common problems on the Mercedes-Benz eVito?

On the Mercedes-Benz eVito, the issues that come up most by mileage include Brakes, Tyres & wheels and Driver's view. The section above breaks down each one with its typical mileage, repair cost and severity.

How many Mercedes-Benz eVitos are on UK roads?

About 149 Mercedes-Benz eVitos are currently taxed and on the road in the UK, from DfT vehicle-licensing data.

Is the Mercedes-Benz eVito reliable?

The Mercedes-Benz eVito scores 85/100 on Forecourt's MOT-based reliability measure, ahead of 57% of the cars we track. That is computed from 8,906 real DVSA MOT test results.

How much does a used Mercedes-Benz eVito cost?

A 2023 Mercedes-Benz eVito with around 23,604 miles is worth roughly £25,550 today (typical range £22,300–£28,800). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.

How quickly does the Mercedes-Benz eVito depreciate?

A new Mercedes-Benz eVito typically loses about 50% of its value over the first three years, then depreciates more slowly. Buying at three to five years old avoids the steepest part of the curve.

What insurance group is the Mercedes-Benz eVito?

The Mercedes-Benz eVito sits in insurance group 27 of 50 — the middle of the scale. Exact premiums depend on the trim (some versions sit a few groups higher or lower), your age, postcode and no-claims history.

What goes wrong on a used Mercedes-Benz eVito?

The most common age-related issues we track for the Mercedes-Benz eVito are: brakes (typically around over 100k miles, £150-£500 to put right); tyres & wheels (typically around 60k-100k miles, £80-£500 to put right); driver's view (typically around 30k-60k miles, £60-£300 to put right). A full service history and a recent MOT with no advisories are the best protection.

What does the Mercedes-Benz eVito cost to run?

Expect around 3.5 miles per kWh, £195 a year in road tax, about £290 for a standard annual service. The full cost-of-ownership table above breaks this down per year and per mile for the exact year and mileage you choose.

Ranked #30 van in the UK · Panel van (EV) · 151 units sold last year

Mercedes-Benz eVito

The Mercedes eVito is the electric medium van - the battery-powered Vito, aimed at urban and last-mile fleets that run predictable daily routes. It keeps the Vito's car-like refinement and load space, with range geared to city and regional work rather than long hauls. For operators electrifying town-based delivery or shuttle duties, it's a refined, premium-feeling choice; range is the planning constraint rather than payload.

From our report

“Our reliability data puts the eVito ahead of 87% of the vans we track — a genuinely dependable used buy.”

Safety recalls

Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Mercedes-Benz eVito, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.

Check on GOV.UK

Opens the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recall checker. Choose the make, model and year of manufacture — no registration needed.

Theft risk

A general indicator from UK 2025 theft data and this car’s characteristics — not a prediction for any one vehicle.

Whole-car theft

Higher

Higher-value cars like this are relay-theft targets — keyless entry can be exploited from the driveway in under a minute.

Parts theft

Lower

As an electric car it has no catalytic converter, so the most common parts-theft vector doesn't apply.

Worth doing

Keep keys in a Faraday pouch and away from the front door to block relay attacks.
A visible steering lock is a cheap, strong deterrent on a frequently-targeted car.

Clean-air zones

Whether driving a Mercedes-Benz eVito into a UK clean-air zone will cost you anything. Rules use the same Euro standard across most zones — petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2015 onwards are exempt; pure electric is always exempt.

Charging zones for cars

City	Area	Daily charge	Likely outcome
London	All of Greater London (within the M25)	£12.50	Likely exempt Battery-electric — exempt everywhere.
