2008 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · AF58 EOW

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 18 August 2025 at 142,671 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. The vehicle cleared its test cleanly after a failed attempt just ten days earlier on 8 August 2025 at 142,662 miles, where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical failure. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an 18-year-old van. The record shows 128,973 miles in June 2023, rising to 134,688 by June 2024 and 142,671 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 7,900 miles per year, matching the expected average. The dataset is sparse, with only five entries and two of those dated the same day in 2023, but the absence of recorded wear items or corrosion suggests the previous keeper kept the drivetrain and structure within test limits. A buyer should still verify structural integrity and suspension condition in person. The clean MOT slate offers no flagged concerns on coil springs, bushes, or brake discs, yet a 2008 Vivaro at this age is prone to underbody corrosion and sliding-door wear unseen by the tester. The twin failures on 9 June 2023 and 8 August 2025 with zero defects logged warrant confirmation the van was presented correctly and not masking intermittent electrical or emissions faults. Given the low-fault history, focus a pre-purchase check on tyre tread depth, handbrake efficiency, and exhaust emissions under load. The previous owner appears to have addressed basic upkeep, but the same-day fail-pass pattern hints at lax test preparation rather than neglect of major components.
