Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those needing a functional van, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The vehicle shows a consistent history of passing tests with no recorded defects in the last four years.
When inspecting this 1.6L diesel Vivaro, your primary focus should be on the circumstances surrounding the May 2025 MOT failure. Although the record shows 'no defects recorded' for that failure, you should ask the seller for the specific reason for the fail and evidence that the required work was completed to pass the retest on the same day.
Given the mileage has surpassed 100,000 miles, check for signs of heavy commercial use. Inspect the suspension components, brake wear, and tyre condition, as these are common areas for wear on high-mileage vans. Ensure the service history aligns with the mileage to confirm that oil changes and essential maintenance have been performed regularly.
As a 1598cc diesel, this Vivaro is designed for efficiency, though running costs will depend heavily on load weight and annual mileage. Fuel economy typically remains decent for a van of this size, but expect higher costs if used for heavy haulage or frequent stop-start urban driving.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2018 Vivaro vary based on specific trim and load capacity, but you should obtain a quote based on the MK68AAZ registration. Maintenance costs for a vehicle with over 100,000 miles may increase as components like the timing belt, water pump, and clutch reach the end of their typical service life.
Start by investigating the May 2025 MOT failure; even if the digital record is sparse, the physical repair receipt is vital. Check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or leaks, which can be common in diesel vans used in various weather conditions.
Because this is a 2018 model with over 100,000 miles, pay close attention to the turbocharger and fuel system for any unusual noises or performance drops. Additionally, check the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF), as high-mileage diesel engines can sometimes face issues if they have not been driven on motorways regularly.
This 2018 Vauxhall Vivaro, finished in white, has covered 104,862 miles since its first registration in September 2018. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests, though it did encounter a failure during its most recent test in May 2025 at 104,862 miles. Aside from that specific instance, the vehicle has maintained a clean record with no defects noted in previous years.
There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability reputation for the Vauxhall Vivaro.
