2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DN18 APZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the most recent MOT records. The September 2025 test at 103,511 miles shows a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness at that time. The failure recorded on the same date suggests a minor non-compliance that was rectified immediately to secure the pass. The mileage accumulation is significant for a vehicle of this age. Between the October 2023 test at 79,210 miles and the September 2025 test at 103,511 miles, the vehicle covered 24,301 miles. This averages to approximately 12,150 miles per year, which is consistent with the overall usage pattern of roughly 12,939 miles per year. The data shows a steady, predictable increase in mileage without any suspicious periods of long-term stationary use. While the MOT history is clean of structural corrosion or suspension issues, the high annual mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components face increased stress on high-mileage commercial vehicles. The brake system should also be checked for uneven wear on the discs or binding calipers, which often appear as advisories before becoming failures. Given the heavy usage, a detailed inspection of the drivetrain and engine bay is recommended to check for oil leaks or excessive blow-by. The lack of recorded advisories regarding tyre tread or wiper blades in the recent history is a positive sign, but the mechanical integrity of the steering rack and various rubber seals should be verified during a hands-on assessment to ensure the vehicle has been maintained beyond the basic requirements of the MOT test.
