2021 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Sportive S/S 2.0L Diesel · DT70 WCE

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-20 shows a failed test with multiple safety-critical issues, including a nearside front windscreen wiper that fails to clear the windscreen, rear brake pads worn to the indicator, rear brake discs worn but not excessively, and both front tyres worn close to legal limits. A nearside front tyre also has an outer nail, which could indicate damage or puncture. These issues suggest immediate repair needs for safety and compliance. A passed MOT on the same date contradicts the failed entry, creating ambiguity. This may reflect a data entry error or separate tests, but the failed outcome highlights significant concerns. Previous MOTs in 2024 were clean, with only a minor windscreen damage in 2024-01-09 that did not affect visibility. The lack of recurring defects before 2026 suggests the recent issues may be isolated or newly developed. The vehicle’s mileage of 48,959 miles over five years averages ~9,792 miles per year , which is typical for its age. However, the recent tyre and brake wear could indicate higher-than-expected usage or uneven driving habits. The presence of a nearside front tyre nail also raises questions about potential damage from potholes or road hazards.
