2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DN18 AJO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history indicates a period of instability. The most recent MOT test on 1 June 2023 at 80,007 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed two consecutive failures in May 2023 at nearly identical mileage readings. Since that last test occurred over three years ago, the vehicle is now significantly overdue for its annual safety check, necessitating an immediate inspection to verify its current mechanical and structural integrity. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady progression from 52,121 miles in April 2021 to 66,060 miles in May 2022, and reaching 80,007 miles by June 2023. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used for standard duties rather than sitting stationary for long periods. However, the lack of data since the June 2023 test means the state of the drivetrain and wear components over the last thirty-six months remains unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system due to the two failures in 2023. While the specific defects were not listed in the summary provided, rapid-fire failures at low mileage intervals often point to components that require immediate attention. Given the age and type of the Vivaro, specific attention should be paid to corrosion on the chassis and structural members, as well as the condition of suspension bushes. Checking the state of the brake discs and calipers is essential to ensure the previous owner has not neglected routine maintenance during the long gap between recorded tests.
