2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FL11 ABZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-09 at 212,353 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-09-06 at 212,326 miles resulted in a failure despite no recorded defects. This inconsistency suggests potential issues with testing accuracy or unresolved mechanical faults. The prior tests from 2024-08-08 and 2023-07-27 showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend until the recent tests. However, the lack of defect details in both the pass and fail records limits definitive conclusions about underlying issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 212,353 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 14,157 miles annually, which is notably high for its age. This rate implies significant wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The 2023-07-27 test at 191,881 miles and the 2024-08-08 test at 201,478 miles show a 9,597-mile increase over 13 months, followed by a 10,875-mile jump to 212,353 miles by 2025-09-09. Such rapid accumulation raises concerns about potential neglect in maintaining critical systems, particularly given the absence of defect records in earlier tests. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates such wear. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, while the exhaust system and corrosion in body panels require scrutiny. The lack of defect data in recent tests does not confirm mechanical soundness, and the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify hidden issues.
