2004 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · FD54 ALO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on November 27, 2025, at 224,069 miles. While it passed with no recorded defects, the history shows a pattern of failing exactly twenty-four hours prior. This suggests that the owner is proactive enough to rectify immediate compliance issues to secure a pass. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting minimum legal standards despite the high mileage. At 224,069 miles over 22 years, the Vivaro has averaged approximately 10,185 miles per annum, which aligns with typical commercial usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use between tests, with 2,725 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,783 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which often helps prevent seals from drying and internal component corrosion. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as high-mileage vans of this era are prone to stress-related fractures. Given the recent failures without specific recorded defects, the inspector should check for minor items like blown bulbs, wipers, or leaks that might have triggered the initial failures. Close examination of the suspension bushes and brake lines for excessive wear is essential, as the lack of recorded MOT advisories does not provide the technical detail needed to judge the remaining life of these high-wear components.
