VAUXHALL VIVARO 2700 EDITION S/S2021 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the latest test on 23 August 2025 at 74,812 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure for multiple mechanical and lighting defects. The recurrence of a deteriorated offside front CV boot and worn brake components across different tests suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when they reached failure thresholds rather than during scheduled servicing. At 74,812 miles over five years, this Vivaro has averaged approximately 15,000 miles per annum, which is high for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a rapid accumulation of nearly 9,000 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This high rate of use places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the persistent wear on the drive shafts and the uneven condition of the rear tyres recorded in the 2024 failure. A prospective buyer must physically inspect the front drive-shaft assembly, as the CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2024 at 65,877 miles and remained a point of concern into 2025. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the tester noted both front and rear brake discs were worn during the August 2025 test. Given the history of stepped rear tyres and thin front pads, the buyer should also check the suspension for signs of alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that may be causing premature and uneven tyre degradation.
