2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DU15 ABX

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend, characterized by recurring mechanical issues and a recent failure in June 2026. While the most recent test at 120,749 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure involving serious electrical faults, specifically an inoperative engine MIL and an ABS warning lamp. The presence of a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot and pitted brake discs indicates that while immediate failures were rectified, the vehicle is entering a phase of increased component degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 53,493 miles in July 2018 to 120,749 miles in June 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage, though the interval between the December 2024 and June 2026 tests shows the vehicle covered roughly 300 miles, suggesting it may have been stationary for several months prior to its most recent inspection. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside and structural integrity. The December 2024 test flagged corrosion on the jacking points and general underside corrosion, alongside a corroded brake pipe. Given that the nearside rear sill was previously noted as deformed in September 2021, the extent of structural rust needs careful verification. The recurring mention of oil leaks since 2020 suggests a persistent seepage that requires investigation to determine if it stems from gaskets or seals that are nearing the end of their service life. The braking system and drivetrain also require close scrutiny. Brake discs have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in almost every test since 2021, indicating a pattern of delayed consumable replacement. The offside front CV boot has also appeared as a recurring fault in both 2023 and 2026, which may suggest that the underlying drive shaft components are nearing failure. Finally, the recent ABS and engine management light faults necessitate a diagnostic scan to ensure no underlying sensor or electronic control unit issues remain.
