2020 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Dynamic S/S 1.5L Diesel · DS70 LRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test in January 2026 at 102,830 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a windscreen chip. This follows a failure in November 2024 where the tester flagged both de-icing wipers and glass damage. While the vehicle has cleared its latest tests, the recurring nature of visibility-related faults suggests that the owner only addressed defects when they threatened an MOT failure. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old van, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between November 2023 at 55,951 miles and November 2024 at 81,603 miles, representing over 25,000 miles driven in a single year. This heavy annual mileage puts accelerated strain on commercial-grade components, particularly the drivetrain and suspension. The rapid accumulation of over 21,000 miles between the last two tests confirms the vehicle is likely used for intensive fleet or long-distance work. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, as the November 2023 failure for tyres worn on the edges often points to alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the control arm bushes and drop links is essential to ensure no play remains. While the record does not explicitly flag structural corrosion or brake binding, the heavy usage pattern warrants a physical inspection of the brake discs for thinning and a check of the chassis for signs of stress fractures common in high-mileage Vivaros.
