2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · DC12 KHA

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 April 2025 at 162,637 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 5 November 2024 at 162,573 miles also passed clean. Across the last three successive annual examinations the vehicle has shown no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage sits at 162,637 against a 2012 build, equating to roughly 11,600 miles per year and matching typical light commercial use. A notable gap appears between the 4 November 2022 test at 146,421 miles and the 31 October 2023 test at 154,759 miles, where only 8,338 miles accrued, followed by near-static mileage into 2024 and 2025. The 30 October 2023 failure at 154,735 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle passing the next day. Given the clean advisory history, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues emerge from the record. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis and wheel arches, as Vivaro vans of this age commonly suffer unseen rust not captured by MOT passes. Verify the brake calipers and exhaust emissions during a road test, and confirm the 2023 failed-then-passed sequence reflected no suppressed defect.
