2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DA65 SZL

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a minor mechanical setback. The most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 83,901 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner successfully addressed any issues identified in previous inspections. While a failure occurred in July 2024, the subsequent clean pass a year later suggests that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard without evidence of escalating mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Data from 2023 to 2025 shows steady accumulation of miles, with 11,363 miles covered between March 2023 and July 2024, and another 8,867 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for seals, brake components, and fuel systems in older vans. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components prone to wear on the Vivaro at this age. Although the MOT record is clean of structural advisories, the 75,014-mile failure in 2024 indicates a specific repair was necessary; the buyer should verify what that fault actually was. Given the mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking, as well as the brake calipers for binding. Check for any surface corrosion on the chassis and exhaust mounting points, as these are common areas of failure for this model regardless of a clean MOT history.
