2021 Vauxhall Vivaro 2700 Sportive S/S 1.5L Diesel · FJ21 EBZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the February 2026 test at 85,321 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the most recent result was a pass, the tester flagged a nearside rear service brake fluctuating condition. This follows a pattern of minor consumable issues rather than major mechanical failures, though the recurring presence of windscreen damage across three consecutive tests suggests a lack of proactive glass maintenance. The mileage accumulation is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant increase of 16,526 miles between the March 2025 test and the February 2026 test, and a further 16,526 miles between the March 2024 test and the March 2025 test. This consistent, heavy usage pattern places increased stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The fluctuation in the nearside rear service brake noted in February 2026 may indicate a sticking caliper or uneven pad wear. Given the high annual mileage, checking the condition of the suspension components and tyre wear patterns is advisable to ensure the vehicle has not been subject to heavy load or poor road surfaces. The repeated advisories regarding the windscreen indicate that while the damage did not fail the vehicle, the glass may be nearing a point of total failure or obscuring vision. Inspect the wiper motor and arm tension as well, as the March 2024 failure highlighted ineffective clearing from both the offside and nearside wipers. Overall, the history suggests a vehicle used heavily for commercial or high-frequency purposes where maintenance focuses on passing the test rather than preventative upkeep.
