2006 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · FG56 VBD

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 October 2023 at 138,718 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with the vehicle clearing its final test cleanly after earlier administrative failures that carried no mechanical advisories or listed faults. Recorded mileage sits at 138,718 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 6,936 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial of this age. The records show 130,635 miles on 10 September 2021, rising to 135,368 by 9 September 2022 and 135,396 by 14 October 2022, then 138,718 by October 2023. The gap between the September 2022 failure and the October 2023 pass spans just over a year with only 3,322 miles added, indicating low recent use. Two failures on 8 September 2022 and 14 October 2022 at near-identical mileages were logged with no defects recorded, pointing to paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than neglected consumables or skipped upkeep. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the Vivaro of this era is prone to rot in the rear subframe mounts and door step sections. The clean MOT sheet offers no reassurance on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear, since the tester logged no advisories at any stage. Given the low annual mileage and the absence of recorded faults, previous ownership appears to have kept the van lightly worked with basic statutory testing met. The twin 2022 failures with zero defects suggest the vendor or tester mishandled the test process rather than the vehicle hiding binding calipers or exhaust issues. Verify the odometer against service stamps before purchase.
