2021 Vauxhall Vivaro-E 3100 Dynamic Electric · FD71 AEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of neglected wear-related components. While the most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 21,886 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure for multiple mechanical issues. The persistence of pitted brake discs and failing tyres across two consecutive years suggests that the previous owner only performed the minimum work required to pass the MOT rather than following preventative maintenance. At five years old with 21,886 miles, this Vivaro-E averages approximately 4,377 miles per year, which is significantly below the average for commercial vans. The gap between the November 2024 test at 16,074 miles and the November 2025 test shows an accumulation of 5,812 miles over the year. This low annual usage often leads to surface-level corrosion on brake components when the vehicle sits for extended periods, which aligns with the recurring pitting on the discs noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the tester has repeatedly flagged pitting and scoring on the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear discs. These issues have persisted since 2024, indicating that the discs were not replaced despite visible wear, which can lead to poor braking performance. The 2025 failure for a perished nearside tyre and a worn offside tyre further confirms that the rubber is suffering from age rather than just mileage. Verify the state of the windscreen wiper blades and headlamp alignment, as these were recent points of failure. Given the history of reactive repairs, the buyer should also check for signs of fluid leaks or perished suspension bushes that low-mileage use might not yet reveal.
