Our Verdict
Approach this 2010 Vauxhall Vivaro with caution, as its MOT history shows repeated safety-related failures and recent chassis corrosion. Unless priced very keenly and professionally repaired, it is a high-risk purchase for a private buyer.
Before buying L66SCC, insist on evidence that the January 2026 parking brake failure (offside inoperative, efficiency below requirement) and the front chassis corrosion were properly rectified, as the pass and fail share the same date and mileage. Obtain a full service history and confirm the timing belt, clutch, and turbo on this 2.0 diesel have been maintained, since no such records are provided in the data. Use the repeated track rod end, anti-roll bar, and drive shaft boot issues from the 2024 failure to negotiate a lower price or require a fresh independent inspection.
As a 2010 diesel van with a 1995cc engine, this Vivaro will likely fall into a higher VED band for commercial vehicles and carry a modest insurance group for its class, though exact figures are not in the supplied data. Diesel economy on a Vivaro of this age is reasonable for a panel van, but at 155,000 miles expect increased maintenance costs for suspension and brake components as seen in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical upkeep are around £1,800-£2,400 given its age, mileage, and recorded defects.
Pay close attention to the front jacking points and surrounding chassis on both sides, as the January 2026 MOT noted corrosion within 30cm of mountings on the nearside and offside front despite not being serious at the time. Check the parking brake operation on the offside, which was inoperative in the January 2026 failure, and verify the overall brake efficiency meets requirements. Inspect the track rod ends, anti-roll bar linkages, and nearside CV boot flagged in the 2024 failure, plus front tyres which showed edge wear and cracking, as these indicate accumulated wear on steering and suspension.
This black 1995cc diesel Vivaro, first registered in December 2010, has covered 155,487 miles as of its January 2026 MOT, which is typical for a 15-year-old light commercial vehicle. The MOT record shows two failures in the last two years, including a January 2026 parking brake failure and chassis corrosion at the front jacking points. While it passed in January 2026 after a same-day retest, the underlying corrosion and worn steering/suspension components seen in 2024 are concerning for long-term durability.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Vivaro, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
