2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2700 Sportive Cdti 2.0L Heavy oil · DA12 YHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 133,009 miles. This test was clean, recording no defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed tests on 27 January 2026 and 13 November 2024, the records show no specific defects for these failures, which often suggests administrative issues or rapid rectification of minor faults before the retest. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered approximately 17,269 miles between the April 2023 test at 105,840 miles and the February 2025 test at 124,582 miles. This indicates a period of regular use. The distance covered since February 2025 has slowed slightly, adding 8,527 miles over the following year. The absence of recorded advisories over the last three years is unusual for a 14 year old commercial vehicle. There are no mentions of corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake disc deterioration in the DVSA data. This clean record suggests a well-maintained vehicle, though it may also indicate a tester who was less rigorous regarding minor wear. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on the chassis and underbody for structural rust, as this is a common failure point for this model that may not have been flagged in these specific records. Check the condition of the coil springs and the operation of the rear brakes to ensure no binding is present. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements, as the MOT record does not track these critical engine maintenance items.
