2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DF15 YMA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful retest. The most recent MOT test on 14 April 2025 at 76,886 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying issues immediately to ensure compliance. The clean sheet from the 2025 test indicates the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards without outstanding advis. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between the October 2022 test at 56,439 miles and the May 2024 test at 65,605 miles, during which the vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles over 17 months. The subsequent interval of 11,281 miles between May 2024 and April 2025 shows a slight increase in usage. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage commercial vehicles. While the current record is clean, the recurring failures in April 2024 and April 2025 necessitate a close physical inspection. Since the specific reasons for those initial failures were not detailed in the summary provided, a buyer should manually inspect for wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper condition, which are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the Vivaro, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on the sills and mounting points is essential to ensure structural integrity has not been compromised despite the low mileage figures.
