Overview
Mercedes Vito W447 — Overview
The W447 is the third generation of the Mercedes‑Benz Vito, a light commercial vehicle produced from 2014.
It introduced front‑wheel drive to the Vito range for the first time alongside traditional rear‑wheel drive, with a 1.6‑litre diesel powering front‑drive models. The range includes panel van, Tourer minibus (up to nine seats), and Mixto (two rows of seats with a cargo area) configurations. A significant facelift in March 2020 brought engine changes: the 2.1‑litre OM651 was replaced by the 2.0‑litre OM654 on rear‑ and all‑wheel‑drive models, while front‑drive models received an enlarged 1.7‑litre version of the OM622.

Best & Worst Engines
Mercedes Vito W447 — Ownership Economics
The W447 rule
A £2,500–£5,500 OM651 recon against a £4,000–£12,000 Vito sits at 21–138% of the van's value. On a sub‑£4,000 example, that brushes our 70% Mercedes threshold — we'll honestly tell you to walk away. Against a well‑kept £8,000+ example, the same recon drops to a routine 31–69% — a repair decision, not a financial one. The OM622 is the exception — its low recon cost often makes replacement viable even on lower‑value vans.
Key Takeaways
Which W447 Costs Least To Own?
OM622 1.6/1.7 diesel — cheapest recon, simple maintenance.
Which W447 Costs Most To Own?
OM654 2.0 diesel — injectors and AdBlue system add complexity.
Which W447 Is Best Value?
Post‑2020 OM654 136 PS — modern efficiency with proven durability.
