2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DP18 VBN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improvement following early mechanical interventions. The most recent inspection on 9 July 2025 at 50,220 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from a failing state to a clean pass suggests proactive maintenance during the most recent service interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle profile, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2023, the vehicle covered 10,394 miles, while the interval between May 2023 and July 2025 saw an additional 5,247 miles. This relatively low annual accumulation generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts, though it can sometimes mask component degradation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system to verify the repairs following the May 2021 failure at 24,269 miles were thorough. That test recorded thin brake pads, worn discs, and a leaking nearside front shock absorber. While the subsequent passes indicate these issues were rectified, a physical inspection should confirm there is no residual leakage from the shock and that the brake surfaces remain free of pitting. Given the age of the Vivaro, checking for early-stage structural corrosion on the chassis is also prudent, even though these areas were not highlighted in the provided history.
