2021 Vauxhall Vivaro-E 3100 Dynamic Electric · DY21 JGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to developing consumable wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 29,441 miles passed, but it introduced an advisory for front brake discs that are pitted or scored. This follows a failure in August 2024 where a mechanical defect was rectified, indicating that while immediate faults are addressed, secondary components are now requiring attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old commercial van, averaging approximately 5,888 miles per year. There is a gap of 5,426 miles between the August 2024 test and the September 2025 test, suggesting consistent but light usage rather than high-intensity long-distance commercial work. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can sometimes lead to accelerated corrosion on metal components or rubber degradation, as evidenced by the split CV boot noted at 24,015 miles. A buyer should personally inspect the nearside front drive shaft to ensure the replacement following the 2024 failure was completed correctly and remains free of grease. The advisory for pitted front brake discs necessitates a physical check of the pad thickness and surface condition, as scoring often results from the vehicle sitting stationary or environmental corrosion. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also verify the suspension bushes for cracking and check for binding calipers, which can occur when vehicles are used infrequently over long periods.
