2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FM12 BUF

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 10 April 2026 at 143,763 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes between April 2023 and April 2026 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry appears on the same date as the final pass at identical mileage, yet records no defects; this suggests an administrative reversal rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,269 miles per year against the vehicle's 14-year life, a typical use profile for a 2012 light commercial. The records show steady accumulation: 131,583 miles in April 2023, 135,799 in April 2024, 140,493 in March 2025, and 143,763 by April 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps occur. The clean test lineage with zero advisories across all five entries indicates the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the absence of flagged wear items means consumables were either replaced preemptively or remained within tolerance at test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural corrosion on the chassis rails and sills, as the Vivaro of this era is prone to underbody rust not always visible during a standard MOT. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue, given 143,763 miles of service with no recorded intervention. Verify the dual failing and passing logs on 10 April 2026 with the test centre to confirm no outstanding calibration or documentation anomaly before purchase.
