2008 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · D11 GAU

The Vauxhall Vivaro passed its most recent MOT on 30 April 2024 at 213,127 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied record reads as stable with no escalating faults. The two earlier failures on 15 March 2023 at 207,861 miles and 15 March 2024 at 213,122 miles both show no defects logged by the tester, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. No advisories or structural concerns appear anywhere in the five-year span of records. The van has covered 213,127 miles in roughly eighteen years, an average of about 11,840 miles per year which sits within typical use for a light commercial vehicle of this age. Mileage moved from 202,415 in January 2022 to 207,866 by March 2023, then to 213,122 by March 2024, showing steady annual accumulation of around 5,000 to 6,000 miles rather than rapid wear cycles. A notable gap exists between the January 2022 pass and the March 2023 failure, with no test recorded in 2022's later window, but the clean defect history suggests the vehicle was simply used lightly during that period. Given the absence of recorded defects, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as high-mileage Vivaros commonly develop wear in these areas that a no-defect MOT does not capture. Structural corrosion around sills and chassis members should be checked physically, since the MOT record offers no visibility of advancing rust that may sit below advisory thresholds. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern in March 2023 and March 2024 implies the previous owner relied on prompt retesting rather than deferred maintenance, so verifying service history against the 213,000-mile odometer remains prudent.
