Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those needing a relatively modern diesel van. The recent MOT history shows a clean record following a single failure in late 2024.
When inspecting this 1.5L diesel Vivaro, verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals, which is vital for the turbocharger and timing components. Given the 59,808 mileage, check for any signs of clutch wear or flywheel vibration, as these are common considerations for vans of this age and usage.
Negotiate based on the single MOT failure recorded in 2024. Although it passed shortly after, ask the seller for documentation regarding what was repaired to rectify that specific failure. Ensure the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) has been adequately maintained, especially if the previous use involved short urban trips.
As a 1499cc diesel, this Vivaro is designed for efficiency, though actual fuel economy will depend heavily on load weight and driving style. Tax bands for this model vary, so check the specific V5C document for the exact annual rate.
Insurance groups for Vivaro models can vary significantly depending on the driver's profile and the van's intended use. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular diesel-specific servicing, including fuel filter replacements and brake inspections, which are typical for vehicles in this mileage bracket.
Focus on the underside of the vehicle and the suspension components. Although the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, the 2024 failure suggests there was a component that required attention; confirm this was resolved. Check all lights, wipers, and seals for signs of age-related wear.
Inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks around the 1.5L engine and check the condition of the drive belts. Given the grey exterior, look for any mismatched paintwork that might indicate previous body repairs not noted in the MOT history.
This 2020 Grey Vauxhall Vivaro 2700 Sportive S/S has covered 59,808 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. While it experienced one MOT failure in September 2024, the subsequent tests in both 2024 and 2025 have passed with no defects recorded. The mileage is consistent with a vehicle used for commercial or long-distance purposes over its five-year lifespan.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Vivaro 2700 Sportive S/S to provide a statistical comparison.
