2020 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Dynamic S/S 2.0L Diesel · DP69 AWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 93,333 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional offside headlamp, oil leak, and perished rear tyres. While the vehicle passed after these rectifications, the presence of an oil leak suggests that the owner is only addressing mechanical issues once they are flagged by the MOT tester. This Vauxhall Vivaro has accumulated high mileage for its six-year age, averaging approximately 15,500 miles per year. Between November 2023 (59,723 miles) and November 2025 (93,333 miles), the vehicle covered over 33,000 miles in just two years, indicating heavy commercial or long-distance use. This rapid accumulation puts consistent strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The transition from a clean record in 2022 at 43,854 miles to multiple failures in later years aligns with the accelerated wear expected on a van reaching these mileage figures. A buyer must inspect the engine bay to determine the source of the oil leak noted in the 2025 test, as even minor leaks can indicate failing gaskets or seals that worsen over time. The history of a worn nearside front tyre in 2023 and perished rear tyres in 2025 suggests potential wheel alignment issues or neglect of basic rubber-based consumables. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components is essential to ensure the heavy use has not compromised the structural integrity or safety of the vehicle.
