2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · KV62 ABN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 210,260 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following a series of mechanical issues noted in previous years. While the latest result suggests a clean bill, the history indicates that the vehicle has required reactive repairs to components as they reached the point of failure rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 210,260 miles represents high usage, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent annual accumulation, such as the 12,300 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 10,297 miles in the following year. This steady high-mileage profile suggests a heavy commercial application, which typically places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension geometry, and braking components. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the steering and suspension assembly due to recurring faults. The tester flagged play in steering rack inner joints in both 2021 and 2022, alongside an offside front ball joint issue in 2021. While these appear to have been addressed, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check for further wear in the remaining ball joints and steering bushings. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory regarding front service brake imbalance indicates that the calipers may be sticking or discs are thinning unevenly, requiring a test of the system to ensure the issue is not degrading again.
