2021 Vauxhall Vivaro-E 3100 Dynamic Electricity · FH21 ECE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 31,742 miles passed without defects, it followed failed on that same day due to critical structural bulges in both rear tyres. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses essential safety issues once they trigger a formal MOT failure, rather than monitoring consumables during service intervals. At five years old, the 2021 Vaux Vivaro-E has averaged approximately 6,350 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage intervals between tests are consistent, with roughly 6,600 miles covered between June 2024 and May 2025, and another 6,600 miles leading into the April 2026 test. This low annual mileage generally limits mechanical wear on the electric drivetrain and suspension, yet it does not negate the specific failures seen in the record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and tyre quality. The May 2025 failure at 25,137 miles flagged pitted and scored brake discs alongside a fluctuating offside service brake, which often indicates heat damage or corrosion from sitting during periods of inactivity. Given the recent failure for structural tyre bulges, the remaining rubber must be checked for sidewall damage, uneven wear, or impact marks that could compromise safety under high-speed cornering. Verify that the brake components were actually replaced with high-quality parts rather than merely resurfaced to ensure the fluctuating issue was fully resolved.
