2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DN66 LRO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved clean passes in its three most recent inspections. The test conducted in April 2026 at 131,947 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed. This shift from faults in 2023 to clean records suggests a proactive approach to maintenance in the more recent ownership period. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial usage, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year over the nine year span. A significant spike in activity occurred between January 2022 and February 2023, where the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in just fourteen months. Since 2023, the usage has remained consistent at roughly 2,800 to 3,000 miles per annual interval. This high annual mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage passenger vehicles. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front end geometry, given that the 2023 test flagged both a worn nearside front sub-frame pin/bush and play in the nearside suspension arm ball joint. While these were cleared in subsequent tests, the high mileage of the Vivaro often accelerates wear on rubber bushings and ball joints. The buyer must also verify the state of the front braking system, as the 2022 record already noted thin pads and worn discs, which are likely nearing replacement intervals again under heavy load conditions.
