2022 Vauxhall Vivaro-E 3100 Dynamic Electric · DU22 WUB

The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass in June 2025, indicating that the vehicle's maintenance trend is exceptionally stable. Based on the official DVSA records, the vehicle has consistently met all statutory safety and environmental requirements, showing no signs of structural degradation, exhaust emissions issues, or mechanical failure during the inspection period. The recorded mileage of 2,078 miles is extremely low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging only about 520 miles per year. While this suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and braking components, such low usage often implies that the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. In an automotive context, prolonged periods of standing can lead to different types of mechanical issues than high mileage, specifically regarding the degradation of rubber components and the settling of fluids, which must be accounted for during a physical inspection. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is so low, your inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than wear-related failure. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber can lose its elasticity and crack even if the tread depth remains high. Check the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting caused by moisture accumulation during periods of inactivity, and during your test drive, pay close attention to any brake shudder or binding sensations that could indicate seized calipers. You should also listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, which can become stiff or suffer from uneven wear if the vehicle is not regularly driven. Given that this is an electric vehicle, particular attention must be paid to the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and the high-voltage system. Ensure that the service history confirms that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid replacement and coolant checks, has been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as these are essential regardless of mileage. Verify that the charging port is free from corrosion and that all electrical connections appear secure. Finally, check the service book for consistent stamps to ensure that the vehicle has been maintained according to the manufacturer's intervals, which is vital for preserving the integrity of the electric powertrain and any associated warranties.
