2014 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · DX14 XAH

The 2026‑01‑13 MOT at 213,122 miles passed without recorded defects, indicating that the Vauxhall Vivaro is presently roadworthy, and the immediate preceding failure on 2026‑01‑12 suggests that any earlier issues have been rectified, giving the maintenance record a stable, improving character. The mileage trajectory shows a high usage pattern for a twelve‑year‑old van, climbing from 209,793 miles in May 2024 to 213,122 miles by January 2026, with a 422‑mile jump between the June 2024 and January 2025 tests and a 2,901‑mile increase in the six months preceding the latest test, reflecting intensive annual travel of roughly 17,760 miles. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for rust or fatigue, and assess the exhaust system and emissions for any signs of non‑compliance, as the repeated failures in 2024 hinted at intermittent mechanical concerns despite the absence of recorded defects.
