2014 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FL64 XMP

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 104,336 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests in October 2024 and October 2023 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 22 October 2024 at 100,202 miles where the DVSA system shows no defects recorded, followed two days later by a pass at the same mileage; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a 2014 van. The record shows 83,200 miles in October 2022, 91,964 miles in October 2023, 100,202 miles in October 2024, and 104,336 miles in October 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year, with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps across the five-year window. The clean advisory columns throughout indicate the previous keeper addressed wear before each test rather than letting consumables or structure degrade to the flagging stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The MOT history logs no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, so the tester saw nothing warranting comment at each October check. Given the van is now twelve years old and has covered 104,336 miles, front suspension arms and rear spring seats warrant hands-on checks for micro-cracking or perishing rubber that a visual test might miss. Exhaust emissions and drivetrain showed no faults across the sequence. The two-day fail-and-pass in October 2024 at identical mileage points to clerical action, not deferred maintenance. Overall the record implies disciplined annual upkeep, though pre-purchase scrutiny of underbody rust and brake caliper freedom remains sensible on any Vivaro of this age.
