2013 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · DA13 YPV

The Vauxhall Vivaro passed its most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 84,840 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle clearing every successful test without advisories. However, the history shows two failed tests immediately followed by passes at identical mileages, which points to administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical decline. Mileage accumulation is modest for a 2013 van. The record shows 65,864 miles at the 15 December 2023 test, rising to 74,635 miles by 12 December 2024 and 84,840 miles by January 2026. That equates to roughly 8,800 miles per year over the logged period, slightly above the lifetime average of 6,526. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear between the three annual tests. The January 2026 and December 2024 failures both occurred at the exact mileage of the subsequent passes, with no defects listed on either fail or pass. This pattern suggests the van was presented for test before documentation or minor prep was complete, then retested days later. It does not imply recurring mechanical faults such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake discs. A buyer should still verify in person that the January 2026 pass reflects genuine condition. Inspect brake disc thickness, front suspension arm bushes, and underbody structural integrity for corrosion given the vehicle's age. Confirm the tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions match a clean record. The absence of advisories across all tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but a 13-year-old Vivaro warrants a physical check of load-bearing chassis points.
