2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Sportive S/S 1.5L Diesel · DS69 DLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 August 2025 at 99,416 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates reactive rather than proactive care. The vehicle failed that same test earlier that day due to a rear brake disc being pitted and scored alongside an excessively fluctuating nearside rear service brake. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner addresses critical safety failures once flagged rather than ignoring mechanical degradation. At seven years old, the recorded 99,416 miles represent a high-use profile averaging approximately 14,200 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with commercial use for a Vauxhall Vivaro. Between the August 2023 test at 75,439 miles and the August 2025 test at 99,416 miles, the vehicle covered 24,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation puts significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which aligns with the wear observed in the 2025 failure. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the replacement discs and calipers are functioning correctly without renewed binding. Given the high mileage and the history of brake fluctuations, a thorough check of the suspension geometry for excessive play or worn bushes is essential, as these often fail on heavy vans. While no structural corrosion has been noted in the records, the high annual mileage necessitates a close look at the chassis for signs of accelerated wear that may not have yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure.
