The general consent in Germany is that the Vito is just a piece of crab.

I wouldn't even think about buying one here in Germany, importing one to the US is just a big waste of money.

The predecessor, the old MB 100, isn't even going into export, even the junkyards don't take them.

MB 100 and Vito (the old and the new one) were produced in Spain.

The Sprinter is a different story. They do have a problem with rust (they are build to last like seven years) but mechanically they are strong.

But if you look for something the size of the Vito look for the VW Vanagon or something japanese.

Kind regards
