2013 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · EX63 YLE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on December 4, 2024 at 92,022 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by corrective passes. Specifically, the vehicle failed in both September 2023 and November 2024, passing within days of each failure. This suggests that the owner addresses mechanical faults only when necessitated by a testing failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At a recorded mileage of 92,022 miles, the Vivaro has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year over thirteen years, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. There is a significant two-year gap between the October 2021 test at 78,046 miles and the September 2023 test at 89,147 miles, indicating a period of lower usage or potential storage. The recent jump of nearly 3,000 miles in the last 12 months shows the vehicle is currently in regular use, which accelerates the rate of wear on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and underbody, as the record does not list specific recurring advisories. You must check for structural corrosion on the chassis and mounting points which is common on this Vivaro generation. Given the recent failures without recorded defects, the tester may have looked for binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or leaking shock absorbers that likely triggered the previous rejections. Ensure the exhaust system is free of excessive rust, as the low mileage does not prevent age-related degradation.
