2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · DY61 FEV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2026 at 113,938 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where faults are addressed only immediately following a failure. The most recent failure occurred just four miles prior due to an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which was rectified. While the vehicle passed the latest without defects, the history indicates recurring mechanical and steering issues that suggest a cycle of deferred repairs rather than proactive preventative maintenance. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 113,938 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,600 miles, which is consistent with typical light commercial use for this age. The data shows a consistent testing schedule with tests performed annually since since 2016. There are no significant gaps in the record that would suggest long periods of immobization, though the low mileage relative to the age suggests the vehicle may have spent time stationary, which often contributes to the degradation of rubber components and fluid corrosion seen in the report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and front suspension components due to the persistent history of play in the steering rack inner joints, which appeared repeatedly between 2019 and 2022. The inspector should also verify the condition of the brake lines, as the record flagged excessive corrosion on both nearside and offside front brake pipes in 2021 and 2022. The history of uneven tyre wear noted in early 2019 and 2021 also indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to ensure they are not currently causing premature tyre degradation.
