This model uses a timing chain rather than a belt, so there is no scheduled replacement. Chains can still stretch at high mileage, a rattle on cold start is the classic warning, and the range above is what a replacement costs if it ever needs doing.
As a diesel, watch the DPF if you mostly do short town trips, regular longer runs keep it clear and avoid a £250-500 clean. Glow plugs are the usual cold-start culprit and are priced in the table.
These are researched ranges for the Mercedes-Benz Vito range as a whole. Your exact engine, year and spec shift them, which is what the reg checker above resolves, it prices your actual car, then shows you fair-price approved garages near you.
