2021 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Dynamic S/S 2.0L Diesel · DS21 OWG

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the 6 May 2026 MOT, passing with a single advisory that the rear inner brake pads are wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). No failures were recorded, but the presence of a brake‑pad advisory indicates a consumable approaching its service limit. Compared with the previous year’s tests, the advisory profile has shifted from drivetrain and lighting components to brake wear, suggesting a stable overall condition but a need for timely component replacement. Mileage has risen from 57,975 mi on 29 May 2024 to 77,542 mi on 2 May 2025, an increase of 19,567 mi in twelve months, then to 91,580 mi on 6 May 2026, a further rise of 14,038 mi. At roughly 18,300 mi per year, the van exceeds typical usage for a five‑year‑old Vauxhall Vivaro, indicating heavy duty or frequent long‑distance operation. The consistent annual mileage increments, without large gaps, point to regular use rather than prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should examine the rear braking system for pad thickness and disc condition, confirming that the thin inner pads have been replaced and that there is no uneven wear or scoring. The near‑side front drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boot, flagged as severely deteriorated on 2 May 2025, warrants a visual inspection for boot integrity, fluid leakage, and joint play; replacement of the boot or joint may be advisable. The broken near‑side front headlamp mount recorded on 29 May 2024 should be checked for proper alignment and structural soundness, ensuring the mount is securely fixed and that no corrosion has progressed to surrounding bodywork. Finally, a walk‑around for suspension bush wear, tyre tread depth, and any signs of chassis rust will confirm that the vehicle’s high mileage has not compromised its structural integrity.
