Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
If you proceed, you must negotiate the price downward to account for the high mileage and the evident pattern of mechanical neglect. Request a full service history to see if the heavy wear on suspension components and brakes has been addressed beyond the minimum MOT requirements.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. Given the recent report of corroded brake pipes covered in grease, there is a risk that previous failures were masked or that significant rust is present. Ensure that all recent MOT advisories, such as the power steering seepage and the worn sub-frame pin, have been professionally rectified and not just temporarily patched.
As a 2.0L diesel van, running costs will be influenced by its commercial usage and high mileage. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but expect typical diesel van figures.
Insurance groups for Vivaros vary, but high-mileage commercial vehicles can sometimes attract higher premiums due to increased wear and tear risk. Maintenance costs are likely to be frequent given the recent history of suspension, tyre, and braking failures. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is between £1,800-£2,400, factoring in higher-than-average maintenance requirements.
A thorough inspection of the suspension system is critical. The MOT history shows repeated failures of suspension arm ball joints, trailing arm bushes, and anti-roll bar linkages. Check for any signs of play or noise when driving over uneven surfaces.
Pay close attention to the braking system and fuel/brake lines. The April 2026 MOT noted corroded brake pipes covered in grease, which can hide the true extent of metal degradation. Additionally, inspect the coil springs, as both nearside and offside rear springs were recorded as fractured or broken in multiple previous tests. Finally, check the power steering system for any signs of the seepage noted in the 2025 MOT.
This 2014 Vauxhall Vivaro has covered 207,341 miles since its first registration in August 2014, which is considerably high for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of frequent failures, particularly in early 2025, with multiple issues involving suspension, braking, and tyres. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026, the record shows a heavy reliance on reactive rather than preventative maintenance.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Vauxhall Vivaro model to provide a comparative baseline.
