2021 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Dynamic S/S 1.5L Diesel · AX21 BSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test on 27 July 2026 at 66,281 miles passed without defects, it immediately followed a failure for a non-functional windscreen washer. This minor failure follows a much more significant service lapse in May 2025, suggesting that the owner tends to address mechanical issues only when they prevent an MOT pass. The van has covered 66,281 miles over five years, averaging approximately 13,256 miles per year. A notable spike in usage occurred between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests, where the vehicle clocked 21,611 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of accumulation suggests heavy commercial use during that period, which typically accelerates the wear on the suspension, braking system, and drivetrain components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyres based on the previous failures. The May 2025 test flagged thin rear brake pads and low brake fluid levels, alongside critical tyre failures on both rear wheels, including exposed cords and structural separation. Although these were rectified for the pass, the buyer should check for uneven wear on the discs or signs of leaking fluid from the calipers. Given the high annual mileage and previous tyre issues, inspecting the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue is also essential to ensure the heavy use has not compromised the vehicle's structural integrity.
