2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Sportive S/S 1.5L Diesel · DY69 WNB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a significant decline in preventative maintenance. While the van passed its MOT in July 2025 at 75,721 miles, it initially failed the test that same day due to multiple priority defects. The transition from a clean record in August 2024 to a multi-point failure in 2025 suggests a worsening trend in owner oversight. The presence of a missing seat belt buckle and excessive oil leaks during the failure stage highlights a lapse in basic safety and mechanical checks. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The vehicle travelled from 48,824 miles in September 2022 to 72,305 miles by August 2024, representing a period of 23,481 miles over two years. The subsequent interval of 3,416 miles leading to the July 2025 test shows a much lower usage rate, which likely explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable components during the latest test despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and engine bay. The July 2025 record flagged thin pads on both axles and pitted, scored front brake discs, indicating a full brake overhaul may have been required. The transition from an excessive oil leak in the failure to a non-excessive leak in the pass report requires a close look at the source, such as the rocker cover gasket or crank oil seal. Additionally, verify that the leisure battery wiring has been properly secured away from sharp edges and that the missing second-row seat belt buckle has been replaced to meet safety standards.
