Mercedes-Benz Vito fuel economy questions

What is the real-world MPG of a Mercedes-Benz Vito?

Owners report an average of 34.4 mpg across all Mercedes-Benz Vito engines with data, about 86% of the official combined figure. The engine tables on this page give the figure for each engine and generation.

Why is the Mercedes-Benz Vito real MPG lower than the official figure?

Official figures come from a laboratory test cycle, not the road. Cold starts, short trips, hills, load, tyres and driving style all cost fuel the test does not see. A gap of 10 to 30 per cent is normal; a much bigger gap on one engine usually points at a fault, a heavy right foot, or a diesel that never gets warm.

Where did the Honest John Mercedes-Benz Vito Real MPG page go?

Honest John closed in August 2026 and its Real MPG section went with it. This page is where the Mercedes-Benz Vito figures now live: rebuilt from the archived Honest John dataset, with the official figures kept alongside, and reopened for new submissions.
