2021 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Elite S/S Auto 2.0L Diesel · DL21 SPX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, yet the most recent inspection indicates a shift in maintenance standards that requires immediate attention. While the van passed the August 2025 test at 72,727 miles, the tester flagged multiple mechanical concerns that were absent in the previous 2024 record. The appearance of worn brake discs across all four wheels and a front tyre reaching the legal tread limit suggests a transition from proactive to reactive maintenance rather than preventative upkeep. The mileage pattern reflects heavy usage for a five-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging 14,500 miles per annum. Between the August 2024 test at 55,602 miles and the 2025 test at 72,727 miles, the vehicle covered 17,125 miles in a single year. This high rate of accumulation places significant strain on the suspension components and drivetrain, which aligns with the accelerated wear now observed on the braking system and tyres in the latest MOT. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the 2025 advisory regarding a tyre worn on the inner edge often points to worn wishbone bushes, incorrect tracking, or worn control arms. Given that all four brake discs were noted as worn, a physical check of the remaining thickness and caliper condition is essential to ensure no binding is present. The high mileage also necessitates a thorough check of the automatic gearbox fluid and clutch condition to ensure the heavy annual usage has not compromised the internal components.
