2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CA55 WAD

The 2015 Vauxhall Vivaro presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 February 2026 at 108,434 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean sheet followed a failure just the day prior on 4 February 2026 at the same mileage, where the tester flagged a parking brake efficiency deficiency, a below-minimum nearside front tyre tread, an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and on its edge, a non-functioning offside headlamp on dipped beam, and a failed offside front direction indicator. The fact that all five defects were rectified within 24 hours before the re-test strongly suggests the previous owner addressed them promptly rather than deferring repairs. The January 2025 pass at 94,856 miles and the February 2024 pass at 82,664 miles were both clean, reinforcing a pattern of generally sound upkeep across the recent ownership period. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. From the February 2024 test at 82,664 miles to the January 2025 test at 94,856 miles, the vehicle covered 12,192 miles in roughly twelve months. From January 2025 at 94,856 miles to the February 2026 test at 108,434 miles, it added 13,578 miles over approximately thirteen months. That averages just under 1,050 miles per month, which is broadly in line with the lifetime average of roughly 9,858 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would raise concerns about long periods of standing or odometer irregularities. Buyers should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system and lighting circuits. The parking brake efficiency failure in February 2026 points to a system that was operating at the margins of the legal threshold, so the handbrake cables, rear brake adjusters, and caliper mechanisms deserve close scrutiny for corrosion or stretch, particularly given the vehicle's age and commercial van duty cycle. The repeated headlamp aim advisories in February 2024, where both nearside and offside beams were aimed too high, suggest the suspension ride height may have been sitting low at the time, possibly from worn coil springs or deteriorating suspension bushes. With 108,434 miles on the structure, a thorough check of the subframe, sill mounts, and rear spring seats for corrosion is warranted, as is an inspection of the front brake discs and pads given the tyre wear pattern indicating uneven loading or possible caliper drag. The lighting faults were resolved before the re-test, but checking the headlamp aim and all lamp units for moisture ingress or loose connections remains prudent.
