2020 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Sportive S/S 2.0L Diesel · DV70 WDJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 57,246 miles passed with only a minor sidewall defect noted on the offside front tyre, previous records show a consistent trend of failing on essential components that were only addressed after an MOT failure. This suggests the previous owner prioritised repairing faults once they reached the point of legal failure rather than performing scheduled inspections between test intervals. At 57,246 miles over six years, the Vivaro has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a light commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation shows consistent annual growth, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 12,390 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which generally prevents internal corrosion of components like seals and brake systems. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system and drivetrain, as the record flags recurring issues in these areas. The vehicle failed in both 2024 and 2025 due to worn brake pads and scored discs, with the rear brakes reaching critical thickness levels at 44,855 miles. The offside front drive shaft CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2024; a physical inspection should verify that this part was replaced and is not currently leaking grease, which would lead to an expensive drives joint failure. Furthermore, the windscreen and wiper assembly have been recurring faults across three consecutive years, indicating a lack of attention to basic glass maintenance. The presence of multiple tyres reaching the legal limit or showing edge wear in 2024 and 2025 suggests that alignment may be out or that tyre pressures were frequently neglected. A thorough check of the suspension bushes and tyres is required to ensure that the repeated wear patterns haven't resulted in deeper mechanical damage to the chassis.
