2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Sportive S/S 1.5L Diesel · CA69 LCY

The Vauxhall Vivaro’s most recent MOT, conducted just six months ago on 13 November 2025 at 111,125 miles , confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This consistency across all tests—including the unusual double entry in November 2023 (one pass, one fail at identical mileage)—suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures. However, the lack of advisories or minor faults in any test implies either meticulous maintenance or deferred attention to wear items. The absence of recurring issues like suspension bushes or brake binding is reassuring, though the double MOT in 2023 warrants scrutiny of whether the fail was procedural or indicative of an overlooked component. The mileage progression reveals a steady, high annual average of 15,875 miles per year , which is above typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. Between November 2022 (66,863 miles) and November 2023 (97,904 miles) , the vehicle accumulated 31,041 miles in just 12 months , a rate that accelerates wear on high-stress parts like tyres, brakes, and drivetrain components. The gap between the 2023 fail and pass—both at the same mileage—could imply a technical error or a brief intervention before retesting, but no defects were ever logged. This pattern suggests the vehicle was either used intensively or stood unused for extended periods, which may have affected fluid degradation or rubber components. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of tyres (tread depth and lateral wear) —failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent—and brake components , particularly the rear calipers and discs, which are prone to binding or uneven wear at this mileage. The suspension should be checked for worn bushes or coil spring fatigue , especially if the vehicle has seen heavy loads or rough terrain. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is critical given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as hidden rust can compromise structural integrity. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion , as emissions tests have never flagged issues, but physical deterioration could arise from prolonged exposure.
