2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FE65 EXK

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-31 recorded a pass with 85,693 miles, but a failed MOT on 2026-03-30 (same mileage) listed the same defect: central rear stop lamp(s) non-obligatory stop lamp not working . This suggests the issue was unresolved or misclassified, as the same fault appeared in both outcomes. Additional failures included nearside front position lamp light intensity reduced , nearside front position lamp not working , and a dust cover on the anti-roll bar linkage compromised . These indicate ongoing electrical and suspension concerns. A serious fluid leak in the nearside rear shock absorber was recorded in a 2024-09-11 failed MOT, while earlier entries showed light oil misting on front shock absorbers. This progression from minor to severe issues implies deterioration in suspension components , likely due to age or heavy use. The anti-roll bar dust cover defect, which allows dirt ingress, further points to neglected maintenance. The mileage of 85,693 miles (about 7,790 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle. While not excessively high, this suggests moderate wear on consumables and mechanical parts. However, the repeated suspension and electrical faults indicate potential underlying issues that may worsen without intervention.
