Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. The combinatio
Priority should be given to investigating the corrosion noted in the August 2026 MOT. The report specifically mentions brake pipes covered in grease or other material to mask corrosion and structural corrosion on the sills; these are serious indicators of the vehicle's physical state and could lead to costly repairs or future MOT failures.
Given the mileage of 212,999, you should scrutinize the service records for evidence of major component replacements, such as the clutch or timing belt. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need to address the CV boot deterioration and the oil leak identified in the most recent inspection.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Vivaro offers a balance of power and efficiency for a commercial vehicle, though fuel economy will be impacted by its age and high mileage. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the volume of advisories currently listed, particularly regarding the braking system and suspension.
Typical annual costs will include diesel fuel, commercial vehicle tax, and insurance. Given the current state of the suspension and braking components, a higher-than-normal maintenance budget is required. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody. Specifically, check the sills and the brake pipes near the fuel tank and flexi-hoses, as the MOT history explicitly flags corrosion in these areas. Look for signs of active oil leaks from the engine, as noted in the 2026 test.
Inspect the front offside drive shaft CV boot and the track rod ends, as these have been points of failure in 2025 and remain concerns in 2026. Finally, check the condition of the tyres, particularly the nearside rear, which was flagged as damaged or perishing in the most recent test.
This 2013 white Vauxhall Vivaro has covered 212,999 miles. While it passed its most recent MOT in August 2026, that test recorded a significant list of advisories, including corrosion to the sills, coil springs, and brake pipes. The vehicle's history shows recurring wear-and-tear issues, including failures related to CV boots and track rod ends.
No aggregate data is available for this model, but this specific vehicle shows typical high-mileage wear and tear.
