2008 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FL58 WNT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 4, 2026, 151,911 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of deferred repairs rather than resolution. While the vehicle cleared a failure in June 2024 due to parking brake efficiency and tyre condition, the recurring oil leak has appeared in every single test since at least 2023. This suggests the owner is addressing only the minimum legal requirements to pass rather than fixing the root cause of mechanical weeping. At 151,911 miles over 18 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,440 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with a typical commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows steady annual accumulation, with roughly 3,700 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,808 miles between May 2025 and 2026. This consistent use suggests the vehicle is operated regularly, which often helps prevent the internal seal issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must focus inspection on the braking and suspension systems. The record consistently flags corroded rear brake pipes, which were noted in 2023 and 2024, indicating significant environmental corrosion on the hydraulic lines. The recurring inner-edge wear on the offside rear tyre across multiple years indicates a persistent alignment issue or a worn suspension bush that has not been properly rectified. Furthermore, while the oil leak is currently classified as not excessive, a thorough underbody inspection is required to determine if it originates from a simple gasket cover or a more critical engine seal.
