2002 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · FL52 LSZ

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 198,152 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 4 April 2024 at 196,479 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. The single failure on 3 April 2024 at identical mileage was logged with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a fault-based failure, and the vehicle passed the next day without rectification needed. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 24-year-old van. From 195,029 miles at the July 2021 test to 195,052 miles in September 2022 the van covered only 23 miles, then rose to 196,479 by April 2024 and 198,152 by July 2025, averaging roughly 8,256 miles per year overall. The sparse record with just five tests across the period and a 20-month gap between July 2022 and April 2024 limits insight into intermediate wear, though the low annual accumulation suggests gentle service rather than harsh commercial duty. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age and the absence of tester advisories in the record. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions should be checked for hidden degradation that a no-defect pass does not capture. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the long standing period implied by the 2021 to 2022 mileage plateau warrants scrutiny of perished seals, binding calipers and tyre sidewall condition before purchase.
