2014 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · DL14 XUW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear worsening trend regarding mechanical wear. While it passed the most recent test in late May 2026 at 117,101 miles, the volume of advisories has increased significantly compared to the clean record in 2024. The data suggests that the owner is currently only performing reactive repairs to pass the MOT rather than conducting proactive preventative maintenance on the van's aging suspension and braking systems. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,750 miles per year. Between June 2025 and May 2026, the van covered 10,971 miles, indicating a steady rate of annual use. However, the transition from a defect-free test at 98,919 miles in 2024 to a long list of faults in 2026 indicates that the vehicle is entering a stage of accelerated service requirements for various rubber and metal components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The record shows recurring issues with track rod ends and suspension arm ball joints spanning three years, while the 2026 test specifically flagged play in the nearside track rod end and misting on shock absorbers. The presence of corrosion on the brake pipes is a specific concern as grease often masks deeper structural decay that can lead to fluid leaks if not addressed. Furthermore, all four brake discs are noted as pitted or scored, and the tyres are reaching the legal limit, suggesting an immediate expenditure is required for basic safety consumables.
