2014 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · C2 DKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent pass on 30 March 2026 at 122,209 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening, as the record shows a pattern of neglecting basic electrical components and failing to address recurring mechanical advisories. The most recent test required a re-test three days prior due to an inoperative hazard warning switch and lighting faults, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 10,184 miles per year. Between 30 March 2024 and 31 March 2025, the van covered 4,335 miles. A more significant increase occurred over the following year, with 8,488 miles added by the March 2026 test. This steady usage is typical for a light commercial vehicle and does not indicate any unusual periods of standing or excessive fleet wear. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a chronic issue with coil springs; both rear springs were flagged as corroded in March 2024, and by March 2025, the offside rear coil spring had fractured completely. While the 2026 test did not mention them, the history suggests structural fatigue in the suspension. The handbrake has also shown a declining trend, moving from just meeting requirements in March 2025 to being flagged for low performance on the offside rear in March 2026. Further attention is required for the engine and steering seals. The March 2025 test identified an oil leak and seepage from the offside front power steering pipe. Neither of these issues was explicitly cleared in the subsequent 2026 pass, implying they may still be present. The repeated failures on simple bulbs and switches indicate a lack of attention to detail by the previous owner, which often correlates with deferred mechanical servicing.
