2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Sportive S/S 1.5L Diesel · DU69 XMT

A consistent track record of passing MOT inspections without major mechanical failures defines this vehicle's recent history, with the latest test on 24 October 2024 showing a pass despite a minor advisory regarding windscreen damage. The testing trend over the last three years shows a stable pattern of roadworthiness, as the vehicle has avoided any structural or significant component failures since 2022. While the 2022 inspection recorded no defects, the subsequent two tests have introduced minor non-mechanical advisories, suggesting that while the core mechanical systems have remained compliant, external glass and lighting components have required attention. The recorded mileage of 62,655 miles over approximately seven years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,951 miles. This usage profile is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent, moderate utilization rather than heavy-duty commercial work or extended periods of stationary use. From a mechanical perspective, this level of mileage means that while the drivetrain and major engine components are unlikely to have reached their end-of-life, consumables such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and exhaust components will be subject to standard wear and tear commensurate with this distance. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the recurring advisory regarding windscreen damage noted in both the 2023 and 2024 tests. While the damage was recorded as not adversely affecting the driver's view, repeated chips or cracks can compromise the structural integrity of the glass or lead to more significant fractures over time. During a test drive, check the windscreen for any signs of spreading cracks or delamination, particularly around the edges, and ensure there is no excessive wind noise at motorway speeds which could indicate a compromised seal. The minor advisory regarding an insecure nearside rear registration plate lamp in 2023 indicates a need to verify the integrity of the vehicle's external lighting housings and fixings. Although this was resolved by the 2024 test, it is prudent to inspect all exterior light clusters for secure mounting and to ensure that no wiring looms are exposed or loose near the rear of the vehicle. Beyond these specific points, the lack of recorded defects in the braking, steering, or suspension systems suggests these areas were compliant at the time of testing, but a thorough inspection of the underside for any signs of fluid leaks or mounting wear remains standard practice.
