2013 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FD62 VHO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 24 February 2026 at 126,301 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the vehicle consistently passes only following a failure in both 2025 and 2026. This pattern suggests that the owner is willing to rectify defects once identified by a tester to maintain legal compliance, rather than following a proactive preventative schedule that might catch issues before a test failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-use commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. Between February 2024 and March 2025, the van covered 3,963 miles, followed by another 4,589 miles in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This relatively low annual mileage suggests lighter-than-average usage, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components due to age. While the provided record shows no specific defects on the passing certificates, the failures in consecutive years necessitate a thorough physical inspection of common Vaux failure areas. A buyer should specifically examine the structural integrity of the sills and floor pans for corrosion, as these are frequent weak points for the Vivaro generation. Given the vehicle's age, an inspection of suspension bushes for play and a check of brake calipers for binding conditions are essential to ensure that the issues causing the previous failures have been fully resolved.
