2021 Vauxhall Vivaro-E 3100 Dynamic Electric · FD71 ADO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test on 16 December 2025 at 15,729 miles resulted in a failure due to a nail in the offside rear tyre and an ineffective windscreen wiper. While the vehicle passed immediately upon retest, the persistence of a distorted offside front road wheel across two consecutive years indicates a recurring issue that remained unresolved for long intervals. At 15,729 miles over five years, this Vivaro shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,146 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 12,395 miles and the December 2025 test, only 3,334 miles were covered. This low frequency often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the 2024 advisories regarding a perishing nearside front tyre and cracking on the central front outer tyre sidewall. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front road wheel, as the tester flagged it for slight distortion in both 2024 and 2025. Such a defect can stem from significant impact and may lead to stress on the wheel bearing or suspension geometry. You should also check all tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, as the history suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods. Despite the low mileage, the windscreen wiper blades require immediate replacement to ensure they clear the glass effectively as noted in the latest failure report.
