Buying a Mercedes Vario? - Expect Rust!

In this video, I'll tell you some of the most obvious places that the Vario you want will be rusty and what you can look for if you're thinking about buying one. It's not meant to be a definitive guide as I'm sure that the metal worm gets into a lot more places than this - however, it's unlikely it won't be rotten in the sills but like swiss cheese in the floor. You also learn that I live near a motorway....

Great vid. Like you, i absolutely had to have a Vario. I bought an 02 plate LWB and it was riddled with rust but almost two years later its fighting fit. I removed all the waxoyl from the underbody and ladder and painted it in ToughOx 2K primer then Raptor 2K in Kawasaki green, looks wild!

Thanks for the videos. Where do you buy your replacement panels from?

normal...Mercedes has also had big problems with Sprinter (white colour) even newer model after 2007 - and same with A-Klasse, E-Klasse...made in Germany ;-) --- by the way in 2008 a quality manager from Mercedes Benz (I was owner of a rental company and we bought about 150 new Sprinter a year, after 6 months most of them hat already rust) told me it was not fair to compare Fiat Ducato with Sprinter "as Ducato is galvanized".... we never bought other Sprinter

Very interesting - thank you! There are not that much sources on the web regarding Mercedes Vario and all the related problems.
However, in your Video, there is a lot of background noise that makes it difficult to understand you. Maybe another microfone could solve this problem.
Thanks once more and regards

Interesting video. The paint will fall off a Ducato, but it'll not rust behind it.
I did consider a Vario but opted for a chassis-cab (MAN) and a composite panel body instead.
