2005 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · FM05 EPP

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 134,624 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history. Two earlier failures dated 30 August 2023 and 27 August 2025 at identical mileages of 115,443 and 134,624 respectively carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components appear anywhere in the chain. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,411 against the vehicle's 21-year life, with the odometer climbing from 115,443 in August 2023 to 122,232 in August 2024 and then 134,624 by August 2025. That spread shows light, consistent use of roughly 7,000 to 12,000 miles per year. The record is sparse and clean, offering no flag on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across four successive tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the van. The Vivaro of this era commonly suffers structural rust at sill sections and the front subframe mounting points, none of which a pass-with-no-defects certificate rules out given the test's visual limits. Check coil springs, track-rod ends, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not yet at failure threshold. The duplicated fail-and-pass entries on the same dates suggest the previous owner used a single garage that re-entered the vehicle without correcting faults, yet the absence of listed defects points to paperwork anomalies rather than neglected upkeep. Given the clean trail, prior ownership likely kept the van to basic statutory standard with no evidence of skipped consumable replacement.
