2004 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · D7 WAD

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 128,642 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following clean passes on 27 March 2025 at 127,412 miles and 15 February 2023 at 123,981 miles. The upkeep shows consistency across the last three years with no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. Recorded mileage sits at 128,642 against a 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,847 miles per year. That is low for a 2004 light commercial vehicle. The annual increments are modest: 1,431 miles between February 2023 and March 2025, then 1,230 miles to March 2026. A failed test on 22 February 2024 at 125,716 miles was followed six days later by a pass at 125,718 miles with no defects listed, indicating the failure carried no recorded fault and the vehicle was quickly retested. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglect but offers no deep insight into component condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly on sills, chassis rails, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record omits advisories that often appear on vans of this age. Check the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear unseen by the annual test. The low annual mileage suggests long stationary periods, which raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and exhaust corrosion. Verify service history independently. The clean MOT trail does not confirm routine oil changes, cambelt intervals, or drivetrain care on the 1.9 CDTI unit. Given the six-day fail-retest anomaly in February 2024, question the testing station or prior owner on what prompted the initial failure and clearance.
