2014 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · DP14 ABZ

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 25 March 2025 at 121,400 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 28 March 2024 examination at 106,833 miles produced both a fail and a pass on the same day with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has shown no recurring advisories or structural concerns across the available five-year record. Mileage progression sits close to typical for a 2014 panel van. The records show 92,946 miles on 30 October 2021, 101,456 miles on 1 November 2022, and 106,833 miles by 28 March 2024, before jumping to 121,400 miles at the March 2025 test. That final 14,500-mile year is the heaviest annual use in the sequence, yet still within normal light-commercial bounds at roughly 10,100 miles per year averaged overall. A gap exists between the October 2021 and November 2022 tests, but the low incremental mileage of 8,510 over that period suggests limited standing time and steady private or small-business use. Given the absence of flagged wear in the official history, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not always captured at test: brake disc thickness, suspension bushes, and coil spring condition after eleven years of service. The same-day fail and pass in March 2024 with no defects recorded warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to confirm it was documentary rather than a concealed fault. Structural corrosion around sills and chassis members should be visually verified despite no tester advisories, as Vivaro bodies of this generation are prone to rust where moisture collects. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but a pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions remains sound practice at 121,400 miles.
