2006 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · D2 RTS

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 8 October 2025 at 219,463 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five consecutive annual tests from October 2021 through October 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record indicates the previous keeper addressed requirements before each test and kept the van to a consistent standard. Mileage accumulation tracks typical light-commercial use for a 2006 model. The odometer moved from 181,253 miles at the 5 October 2021 test to 219,463 miles by 8 October 2025, a gain of 38,210 miles over four years or roughly 9,550 miles per year. That figure sits marginally below the 10,973 miles per annum implied by the lifetime average, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps between entries. The DVSA data shows no lapsed certificates, suggesting continuous road use rather than long storage. Given the absence of any flagged items across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone exposes no recurring mechanical faults or worsening wear patterns. A clean sheet over five years on a high-mileage diesel van of this age implies basic upkeep was not neglected. The previous owner likely serviced consumables outside the test regime. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis and wheel arches, as the Vivaro's age makes hidden structural rust at sills and subframes plausible despite no tester advisories. Verify real-world condition of tyres, wiper blades, and binding calipers through a road trial, and confirm service records apart from the MOT. The documented evidence supports purchase confidence, but 219,463 miles demands scrutiny of clutch, turbo, and drivetrain wear not captured by the annual test.
