2002 Mercedes-Benz V-Class: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Diesel 56% pass first time (all 2002 cars: 58%) Stands out: body structure rust or damage 3.7×, rust around suspension or steering mountings 2.4×, chassis rust or damage 2.7× 306 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Petrol and Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
