When searching for a dependable, fuel‑efficient workhorse that also offers comfort and versatility, the Mercedes Vito 2008 often tops the list. Its robust build and modern interior make it a favorite amongst small business owners and families alike. Despite its age, the Mercedes Vito price remains competitive compared to newer models, especially in the used market where strategic buying can deliver substantial savings.

• Engine: 2.1 L inline‑4, 184 hp (70 kW) diesel or 2.6 L inline‑4, 170 hp (125 kW) petrol – both known for torque and longevity.
• Transmission: 6‑speed manual (diesel) or 6‑speed automatic (petrol); optional DSG dual‑clutch for smoother shifts.
• Fuel Type: Diesel (most common) and petrol options; diesel variants come with the “MS” or “S” spec.
• Transmission  (fuel economy): Approximately 25‑32 mpg combined for diesel; petrol versions average 22‑28 mpg.
• Dimensions: Length: 4,992 mm; Width: 1,775 mm; Height: 1,776 mm; Wheelbase: 2,940 mm.
• Payload: Up to 800 kg (varies by configuration); useful for cargo, passenger, or mixed setups.
• Seating: Configurable from 4 up to 12 seats, depending on chosen layout and trim.
• Safety Features: Anti‑lock braking system (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBS), reinforced body panels, optional lane departure warning.
• Technology: 2008 models typically include a basic iPod/RiMO connectivity system, climate‑control, and optional navigation.

With the above specifications, you can assess how the Mercedes Vito 2008 price aligns with your transportation budget. Potential buyers often reward themselves with extra features such as upgraded seats and advanced infotainment, but these enhancements typically cost little relative to the overall vehicle price.

Depreciation Profile: How Does the Mercedes Vito Lose Value?

Understanding Mercedes Vito depreciation is integral when evaluating a used Mercedes Vito price. The first year generally sees a substantial drop – typically 15‑20% of the original price – while subsequent years follow a steadier decline.

• First year: ~18% depreciation on average.
• Years 2‑3: ~12% each year.
• Years 4‑6: ~8‑10% annually.

Because the Vito is designed for durability, its depreciation curve is flatter than many passenger cars. Owners who maintain service records and keep mileage below 40,000 km experience even slower value loss. Therefore, the used Mercedes Vito price remains attractive well into the 10‑year mark, especially for buyers in markets where commercial vehicles retain resale value longer.

What Is a 2008 Mercedes Vito Worth?

When a potential buyer asks, “what is a 2008 Mercedes Vito worth?” the answer hinges on several variables: mileage, service history, region, and market demand.

In general, you may find a well‑maintained 2008 Vito priced between €10,000 and €15,000, accounting for positioning in the used light commercial segment. However, because the vehicle’s fare depends heavily on condition, mileage, and optional features such as air conditioning or modern safety upgrades, prices fluctuate across trade channels.
