2009 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · AK09 MLV

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 6 December 2023 at 193,641 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared the 16 November 2022 test at 190,536 miles cleanly. The history shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories carried forward, indicating the van has not entered a phase of mechanical decline across the observed period. Mileage stands at 193,641 against a 2009 build, equating to roughly 11,391 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial of this age. The record shows 184,825 miles on 25 October 2021, rising to 190,530 by 14 November 2022, then 193,641 by December 2023. Annual accumulation has slowed to around 3,100 miles in the final year, suggesting lighter recent use. The two failed entries on 25 October 2021 and 14 November 2022 list no defects, pointing to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical rejection, and the clean pass immediately following each suggests no genuine fault was present. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the Vivaro of this era is prone to rust at mounting points and floor sections not always visible during a basic MOT. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be physically checked for fatigue despite the absence of advisories, given the 17-year service life and 193k mileage. The repeated no-defect fails imply previous operators attended tests without resolving minor paperwork or identification matters but kept the mechanical condition within pass limits. Verify the van's standing period since the December 2023 test, as over two and a half years without a recorded test invites perished tyres, flat-spotted brakes, and degraded fluids requiring renewal before road use.
