2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FE19 OMP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 63,046 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative replacement. While the January 2026 failure resulted from a damaged offside rear tyre reaching the cords, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass indicate that the owner addresses safety-critical defects once flagged by the tester. At 63,046 miles over seven years, the Vivaro has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a light commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent across annual intervals, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,700 miles between 2025 and 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme heavy loading, which generally reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus specifically on the offside front shock absorbers, which have been flagged for oil misting in both 2023 at 39,638 miles and 2025 at 56,314 miles. Although the tester noted the performance was unaffected previously, the persistence of this weep over two years suggests the seals are nearing a failure point. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding thin offside front brake pads necessitates a physical inspection of the remaining friction material and discs to ensure they have been replaced since the last test. The absence of structural corrosion or rust advisories in the history is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
