2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · LR15 ACJ

The Vauxhall Vivaro has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 12 September 2025 , with no defects recorded at 99,809 miles . This suggests the vehicle has passed all statutory inspections without major failings, though the absence of advisories or minor faults means there is no historical evidence of recurring issues such as suspension wear, brake binding, or exhaust leaks. The most recent test was conducted just 10 months ago , placing it within the optimal window for roadworthiness assessment—though buyers should still verify recent maintenance beyond the MOT’s scope, particularly for components like tyres, fluids, and suspension integrity. The mileage progression indicates consistent annual usage , averaging around 9,000 miles per year over the past four years. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in service intervals, though the 2022 test dates are unusually close (two MOTs on the same day, one pass and one fail, both at 85,337 miles ), which may imply a temporary administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The lack of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle was either lightly used or maintained diligently during periods of lower mileage accumulation. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to visual inspections of high-wear areas —particularly the suspension bushes and coil springs , which are prone to fatigue at this mileage, and the rear brake calipers , as binding was a common failure point in similar models. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or leaks, especially around flanges and mounts, while structural underbody corrosion —common in older vans—must be scrutinised near wheel arches and sills. Buyers should also confirm recent fluid levels and condition , as brake fluid degradation and coolant leaks are often silent failures not caught by the MOT. The tyre tread depth and uniformity should be verified, though the MOT’s pass suggests no immediate failure risk.
