2017 VAUXHALL VIVARO 2900 LE NAV CDTI BT S/S1.6L HEAVY OIL

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend following recent successful inspections. The most recent MOT conducted in December 2025 at 86,611 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the history shows instances of failure, the ability to pass subsequent tests without any recorded advisories suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing faults once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a notable period of activity between April 2023 and October 2024, where the vehicle covered 20,000 miles in just eighteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage correlates with the failure recorded in October 2024 at 74,848 miles, though the vehicle was cleared and passed eight days later. The consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle, which increases mechanical stress on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most likely to wear under this mileage profile, as the MOT record does not specify the nature of the previous failures in 2021 and 2024. Given the age of the Vivaro, a close look at the chassis for structural corrosion and mounting point integrity is essential to ensure no hidden rust is developing. Inspect the braking system for binding calipers and check the condition of the suspension bushes, as the lack of recent advisories may mask components that are simply nearing the end of their service life.
