2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FG61 PSX

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 May 2023 at 164,024 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable but irregular, showing two failed tests in late 2021 and late 2022 where the DVSA issued no defect codes, followed by clean passes. This pattern suggests administrative or presentational anomalies at test rather than progressive mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 164,024 against a 2011 build, equating to roughly 10,935 miles per year and matching typical light commercial use. The odometer moved only 1,315 miles between the December 2021 failure and the May 2023 pass, with a mere 31 miles separating the two 2022 failures on 14 November and the prior February pass. Such a flatline implies the van stood idle for long periods or covered very short local trips, which can encourage corrosion and seized components despite low wear. The repeated failures carrying no recorded defects deny the buyer any flagged items on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity to chase. A clean sheet at three of four tests does not certify condition, merely that the tester logged nothing. Given the vehicle's fifteen years and dormancy implied by the mileage, the next owner should physically inspect for underbody rust, perished rubber mounts, and binding calipers that static storage aggravates. Prior to purchase, commission an independent inspection of the exhaust emissions system and drivetrain joints. The sparse record offers no advisories to weigh, so mechanical risk rests on age and disuse rather than documented fault history.
