2006 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · FG56 VEW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 109,423 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently achieved clean passes following re-test failures in earlier years. The lack of advisories on the latest inspection suggests that the immediate mechanical and structural components were in an acceptable condition at the time of the test six months ago. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,471 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the recorded data between June 2016 and March 2019, during which the vehicle covered 72,938 miles in just three years. Following this intensive period, usage dropped drastically, with only 41,273 miles recorded between 2019 and 2026. This pattern of high annual use followed by periods of lower mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid stiffening despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, particularly the chassis, as Vivaro models of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and mounting points. While the recent history is clean, the low mileage suggests that the suspension bushes and brake lines may have perished or perished from age rather than wear. Given the previous failures in 2016 and 2019, a check for any signs of fluid leaks or seized calipers is essential to ensure the issues that previously caused failures are not beginning to return.
