2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · EY11 UNV

The Vauxhall Vivaro's most recent MOT test on 2026-01-26 at 137,330 miles passed with no defects, suggesting the vehicle is roadworthy. However, the previous test on 2026-01-23 at 137,329 miles revealed several advisories, including corroded brake pipes, excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, and a failing parking brake. These issues indicate ongoing maintenance needs, particularly in the braking system and suspension components. The vehicle's maintenance history shows a mix of passing and failing tests, with recurring problems in the suspension, braking system, and electrical components, suggesting a need for vigilant care. The mileage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, with an average of approximately 9,155 miles per year. The most recent test was conducted just three days before the passing test, indicating a recent service or repair. The clean mileage progression between tests suggests consistent maintenance, though the advisories in the failing test highlight areas requiring attention. The absence of major structural defects in the passing tests suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to severe mechanical stress. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system for signs of corrosion, particularly the brake pipes and discs, and checking the suspension components for excessive wear or play. The recurring advisories on the constant velocity boots and coil springs indicate a need for thorough inspection of these critical components. Additionally, the electrical issues, such as the headlamps and horn, should be verified for functionality. The vehicle's age and mileage suggest that consumables like brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades may need replacement, but the structural integrity appears sound based on the MOT history.
