2006 Mercedes-Benz Viano: 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.

Petrol 67% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 234 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 59% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%) Stands out: rigid brake pipes 1.7×, body structure rust or damage 3.2×, anti-roll bar link bushes 5.5× 906 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

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