2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · TJ67 HAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive mechanical attention. While it passed the most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 51,558 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior at 51,488 miles. That failure revealed significant issues including a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber and imbalanced brakes, indicating that the owner only addressed faults once forced by a MOT test failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 51,558 miles over eight years, the Vivaro has covered a relatively low average of approximately 6,445 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 3,600 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and approximately 5,000 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered heavy commercial strain, though it increases the likelihood of agerelated rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the nearside shock absorber progressed from a light misting in March 2025 to a serious leak by March 2026. The front brake system also requires scrutiny; the tester flagged an imbalance across the axle and pitted inner discs in the previous years. Furthermore, the recurring history of tyre failures—ranging from sidewall damage in 2024 to edge wear in 2026—suggests a lack of basic vehicle inspections and potential wheel alignment issues that could be causing premature tyre wear.
