2014 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · MO02 ACY

The vehicle presents a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the most recent test on 20 October 2025 at 92,981 miles showing a pass despite minor mechanical wear. The record indicates a trend of recurring minor suspension and braking issues rather than sudden mechanical failure. While the vehicle has consistently passed its tests, the presence of ongoing advisories suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 46,578 miles in April 2019 to 92,981 miles by October 2025. There are no significant periods of long-term standing or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest irregular usage patterns. The vehicle has been driven regularly enough to keep the mechanical components in a predictable state of wear. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the suspension and braking systems. The tester flagged near-side front lower suspension ball joint play in the October 2025 test, following similar issues with anti-roll bar linkages and Macpherson strut mounts recorded between 2021 and 2022. The recurring advisory regarding corroded rear brake back plates, noted in both October 2024 and October 2025, suggests surface oxidation is present. While not an immediate failure, this warrants a close look at the rear braking assembly and potential structural corrosion around the rear axle area. The history also shows a tendency for consumable items like tyres and brake pads to reach their limits before being addressed, evidenced by the October 2023 advisories for worn tyres. Given the age and the specific faults noted, an inspection of the steering components, specifically the track rod ends and ball joints, is advisable to ensure the recent repairs have fully resolved the play noted in previous years.
