2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DX65 WDN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed the MOT on 11 June 2026 at 181,296 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior for multiple electrical faults and an oil leak. The persistence of a non-excessive oil leak across every recorded test since 2024 indicates a chronic issue that the previous owners have opted to monitor rather than rectify, suggesting aging engine seals. At 181,296 miles, this 11-year-old Vivaro has covered significant ground, averaging approximately 16,500 miles per year. The data shows heavy usage patterns between June 2024 and July 2025, where the vehicle covered over 8,600 miles in just thirteen months. This high rate of accumulation places immense strain on heavy-duty components, as evidenced by the July 2025 failure where track rod end ball joints progressed from slight play to excessive play, indicating the steering geometry is reaching the end of its service life. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the track rod end failures and the previously missing road wheel fixings in 2025 suggest potential neglect of basic assembly security. The recurring advisories for uneven tyre wear in 2025 also point to an ongoing alignment issue or worn shocks that remains unaddressed. Furthermore, the frequent electrical failures, including multiple stop lamps and registration plate lights, indicate deteriorating wiring looms or corroded sockets which are common in high-mileage vans but require careful testing to ensure continued reliability.
