2004 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · DS04 EEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the lack of recent testing data is a significant concern. The final recorded MOT test conducted in October 2021 at 203,298 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating the van was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, as this record is now nearly five years old, the current state of the structural integrity and critical safety components remains unverified and carries high risk of undetected degradation due to the long lapse in inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,240 miles per annum. Between September 2019 and October 2021, the vehicle covered 20,040 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 10,000 miles per year. The history shows two failures in 2020 and 2021 that were immediately followed by passes at the same mileage readings. This suggests that the failures were likely minor rectifyable items, such as bulbs or minor adjustments, which the previous owner addressed promptly before the re-test. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural condition of the chassis and engine mounting points, which are prone to heavy corrosion on Vivaros of this era. Given the high mileage of over 200,000 miles, the suspension bushes, springs, and dampers likely show significant wear. The buyer should specifically check for binding brake calipers and corroded brake lines, as the vehicle has sat without inspection for several years and rubber components may have perished or seized regardless of the previous clean record.
