Is the engine getting up to 90C ?

As above,
and if you drive it like a car it'll return far worse consumption than a car.

Cold and stop / start round town and I would expect consumption starting well below 20mpg rising to mid 20's.
M'way cruising at less than 60mph and I'll eventually see a max of 42mpg after 80 - 120 miles.
On paper yours will do a little better than mine, if driven gently.

Yes temperature sits between 80 and 90 c and fluctuates between that .

Those figures don’t sound too far out of others, the Vito has never been known as the most frugal of vans...

Even worse then with all that extra weight!

I did a very steady 120 miles in a 1 year old Vito and I got about 35mpg - dreadful! The Vivaros we’ve got do 52mpg on the same trip!

That's not right. It should go to 90C and stay there....
Change the thermostat.

That's premature,
85 is a reasonable expectation, in summer.
Cruising w/o being under load it might drop a little below that.

A kernackered stat will struggle to rise above 60 in cooler weather.

I already replaced thermostat it sits between 80 and 90 on the gauge. Dunno these are very fragile

It's a 2+ tonne vehicle with a lot of frontal area ... not a good recipe for fuel economy. Speed makes a significant difference on the motorway ... it will be noticeably better at (say) 65 than 75.

Does it have a DPF, that'll shave a few miles off the economy, and some ower.
