2020 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Sportive S/S 2.0L Diesel · FL70 TXT

The Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Sportive S/S presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at its most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 97,959 miles. The DVSA record shows three consecutive passes with no defects or advisories logged, indicating the vehicle has met statutory requirements at every examination and shows no worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. The mileage accumulation reflects above-average use for a six-year-old van. The September 2023 test recorded 56,077 miles, rising to 78,808 miles by 1 October 2024 and 97,959 miles by September 2025. This equates to roughly 22,000 miles in the first interval and 19,000 in the second, against an overall average of 16,326 miles per year. The sparse three-entry history with zero advisories gives limited insight into consumable wear, though high annual mileage of this order typically stresses suspension bushes, clutch, and brake discs well before a fault triggers an MOT failure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis and wheel arches, as the MOT record does not capture early-stage rust. Given the load-carrying nature of the Vivaro and its high mileage, examine the rear leaf springs, shock absorber condition, and brake disc thickness for fatigue not yet severe enough to register as a defect. The absence of recorded advisories across all three tests suggests previous operators addressed issues preemptively or the van saw gentle mechanical treatment despite the distance covered. Verify service history against the 97,959-mile odometer to confirm drivetrain intervals were honoured, since the MOT alone cannot evidence routine maintenance.
