2006 Vauxhall Vivaro 2700 Cdti 100 SWB 1.9L Diesel · SKZ 7144

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 293,595 miles with no defects recorded. This reflects a consistent level of maintenance following a single failure in early 2024. The transition from a failed test at January 278,106 miles to a clean pass just two months later at similar mileage suggests that the previous owner addressed necessary repairs promptly to keep the vehicle in legal service. The mileage pattern indicates heavy usage for a twenty-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 14,700 miles per annum. Data shows a significant period of activity between September 2022 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered 11,860 miles in just sixteen months. More recently, the interval between the February 2024 and March 2025 tests saw another 8,292 miles covered in just fourteen months. This high-frequency accumulation suggests the van has been used for long-distance daily transit, which places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, as high-mileage vans of this era are prone to significant corrosion in the sills and mounting points. Checking for wear on the suspension control arms and bushes is vital, as these components often degrade near the 300,000-mile mark. Given the consistent mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brakes for binding calipers or signs of oil leaks from the turbocharger or crank seals to ensure the engine is not nearing a terminal mechanical failure.
