2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DP65 XVU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 20 April 2026, indicating a clean bill of health following a minor failure two days prior. The maintenance trend appears to be resolving, as the most recent test returned zero advisories. While the vehicle failed in 2024 and 2026, these instances were promptly rectified, suggesting that the current owner addresses mechanical shortcomings before the vehicle returns to the road. The absence of recurring structural or engine-related failures over the last three years points to a stable mechanical state. At 68,696 miles over an eleven-year period, the vehicle averages approximately 6,245 miles annually, which is consistent with light to moderate usage. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 10,000 miles added between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests. This consistent usage pattern is preferable to long periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the mileage progression appears genuine and logical for a commercial vehicle of this age. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the suspension and steering geometry, as the 2024 failure highlighted significant wear in the track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages. Although these components were replaced, the repeated failure of the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage suggests this specific area may be a recurring weak point under load. The previous brake system overhaul in March 2024 addressed worn discs and pads, so verify that the braking performance remains sharp and free of vibration. Given the history of perished tyres noted in 2025, check the sidewalls of all four tyres for signs of cracking or UV damage, as this is a common indicator of a vehicle that may have spent considerable time parked outdoors.
