2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DS68 CKC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 45,347 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of clean passes in early 2024 and 2025, indicating that the issues previously identified have been addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting minimum standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 5,668 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between November 2023 and February 2024, where the vehicle covered only 208 miles in three months. However, usage has increased significantly since the February 2024 test, covering 13,121 miles over the last two years. This suggests a transition from intermittent use to more consistent annual mileage, which can accelerate wear on rubber components and fluid systems despite the low overall figure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the November 2023 failure at 32,018 miles, which flagged nearside rear service brake fluctuations and inadequate effort on the offside rear parking brake. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the inspector should verify the rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanism for signs of corrosion, seizing, or uneven wear. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for flat spotting on the tyres and cracking in suspension bushes, as these often occur in vehicles that sit for long periods without regular load weight distribution.
