It depends on whether you are talking about the older Vito (638 chassis) or the new Vito (639 chassis). The new Vito will probably be more reliable, as it shares many components from other Mercedes chassis, such as the W203. It also has switched to rear wheel drive from the front wheel drive setup of the previous model. It actually has pretty good ground clearance!
