Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. The vehicle's hist
Prioritise an investigation into the engine management and emissions history. The vehicle failed in both 2024 and 2025 due to 'excessive black smoke' and 'Engine MIL' malfunctions; you should request detailed invoices to see if the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or injectors were replaced or merely cleaned.
Given the history of suspension failures—including sub-frame bushes and ball joints in 2024—ensure the vehicle handles straight and without knocks. Negotiate the price based on the recurring brake disc wear, which has appeared as an advisory in two consecutive years (2025 and 2026), indicating they are nearing the end of their service life.
The 1995cc diesel engine is built for commercial utility, but at this mileage, maintenance costs are likely to increase. You should budget for regular replacements of heavy-duty tyres and braking components, as evidenced by the MOT advisories.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax for a 2.0L diesel, and insurance for a commercial vehicle. Based on the age and history of this specific van, an annual budget for maintenance and running costs is recommended to cover the likelihood of further wear-and-tear repairs.
Carefully inspect the front braking system; the June 2026 MOT specifically notes that front brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored. Check the front suspension and sub-frame area, as this vehicle has a history of excessive play in track rod ends and worn sub-frame pins and bushes.
Verify the operation of all lighting, including the high-level brake light and headlamp alignment, which were failure points in 2025. Finally, observe the exhaust during a cold start and under acceleration to ensure there is no recurrence of the 'excessive black smoke' recorded in previous years.
This 2014 white Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L diesel has a recorded mileage of 146,554 miles. The MOT history is marked by significant failures in 2024 and 2025, specifically regarding exhaust emissions, engine management lights (MIL), and multiple suspension components. While it passed its most recent test in June 2026, it continues to carry advisories for worn front brake discs.
Aggregate data for the Vauxhall Vivaro is unavailable, but this specific vehicle shows a pattern of emissions and suspension degradation.
