2013 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FH13 PCZ

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 August 2025 at 89,066 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 test cycle shows a fail and pass on the same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. Annual mileage averages 6,851 against the vehicle's 13-year life, a typical figure for a light commercial van of this era. The records show steady accumulation: 75,104 miles in August 2022, 79,224 in August 2023, 83,155 in August 2024, and 89,066 in August 2025. The roughly 4,000 miles added each year points to consistent, moderate use with no standing periods or sudden high-use spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, listing no advisories across any entry, so the file gives little indication of worn consumables or deferred upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of advisories on a 2013 Vivaro suggests testers logged only hard failures, not impending wear. Check front suspension lower arms and track rod end bushes for play, examine brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after standing, and inspect the sills, subframe, and rear chassis legs for structural rust given the van's age. Verify the twin August 2025 entries with DVSA to confirm the fail was a clerical matter and not a suppressed defect. Confirm service history independently, since MOT passes alone do not evidence cambelt, oil, or gearbox maintenance on this 2.0 CDTI unit.
