2007 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FE07 DRZ

The vehicle displays an exceptionally clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 163,666 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This trend of clean passes over the last five years indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and suggests the vehicle has been kept in a reliable mechanical state. The absence of even minor advisories across multiple consecutive tests is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and suggests the owner has addressed wear items before they reached the point of failure. The recorded mileage of 163,666 miles over nineteen years averages to approximately 8,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial van of this type. The progression of mileage is consistent and linear, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic usage. Between the March 2024 test at 151,161 miles and the March 2026 test, the vehicle covered roughly 12,500 miles, confirming it remains in regular, active service rather than suffering from the degradation often associated with long-term storage. While the MOT history is pristine, a physical inspection must focus on areas that fall outside the scope of a standard test. You should prioritize checking the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Vauxhall Vivaro models of this vintage are prone to hidden corrosion behind plastic trim and underseal. Inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these components may be original and nearing the end of their functional lifespan. Verify the condition of the drivetrain and clutch operation, as the MOT does not assess the internal health of the gearbox or the engine's long-term oil consumption. Check for any signs of recent welding or fresh underseal, which could mask structural issues not captured by the test. Given the vehicle's age and high mileage, the lack of recorded defects is a positive indicator of care, but you must ensure that the mechanical components are not simply being pushed to the brink of failure between annual inspections.
