2013 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · KV63 AON

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows signs of a worsening maintenance trend regarding structural integrity and corrosion. While the most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 123,277 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged several significant issues that were absent during the previous year. Specifically, the record now shows corrosion on the offside front inner vehicle structure, a corroded rear axle, and a nearside front brake pipe covered in grease or other material. These findings suggest that while the vehicle remains legal, the underlying condition of the chassis and braking lines is deteriorating. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The vehicle covered 6,660 miles between the March 2025 failure and the March 2026 pass, which aligns with the overall average of roughly 9,500 miles per year. The data shows a concentrated period of mechanical attention in early 2025, where the vehicle failed on 4 March 2015 due to parking brake inefficiency and worn suspension components, including track rod ends and a suspension arm ball joint. This was resolved by 19 March 2025, indicating that the owner addressed immediate steering and braking wear at that time. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the reported corrosion. The presence of corrosion on the jacking point and the rear axle requires careful scrutiny to ensure it does not progress toward structural failure. The greasy brake pipe mentioned in the March 2026 test is a particular concern, as grease is often used to mask active corrosion on metal lines. You should also verify that the previous steering and suspension repairs, specifically the track rod ends and ball joints flagged in March 2025, have held up under recent usage.
