2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DU65 MTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 110,831 miles passed, the record shows persistent advisories regarding worn and pitted brake discs across the axle. The trend for suspension components appears stable in terms of passing, but the recurring failures in previous years indicate that the owner only addresses faults once they reach a point of failure or significant advisory status. At 110,831 miles over 11 years, the Vivaro has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use between tests, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between September 2023 and 2024, and another 8,500 miles covered in the following year. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods explains the progressive wear on the suspension and braking system noted throughout the records. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as the history shows multiple failures involving track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkage joints. The 2024 failure specifically highlighted a damaged dust cover on the offside track rod end, which leads to rapid grease ingress and premature wear if ignored. A physical inspection is required to ensure no new play has developed in these ball joints, as they were flagged across multiple tests between 2023 and 2024. The braking system requires immediate scrutiny. The September 2025 advisory noted pitted and scored nearside rear brake discs alongside worn discs on both front sides. Given that front pads were already flagged as thin in 2023, the entire braking assembly is likely nearing the end of its functional life. The buyer should check for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, as the record indicates a consistent degradation of the braking hardware over the last three years.
