2013 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FN13 CZD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in November 2025 at 134,507 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the most recent failure for a non-functional offside rear stop lamp was immediately rectified to achieve a pass. However, the history reveals a recurring pattern of reactive maintenance regarding suspension and steering components, suggesting the owner addresses faults only when they fail inspection rather than performing preventative care. At 134,507 miles over 13 years, the Vivaro averages approximately 10,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 4,700 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 7,400 miles prior that. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been left to sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber components and hydraulic seals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly, as these areas have shown repeated issues. The tester noted play in the steering rack inner joints in 2022, play in the nearside track rod end in 2023, and a deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust cover in 2024. These faults indicate ongoing wear on the front-end geometry. Additionally, the buyer should check for uneven tyre wear, as the record consistently flags inner-shoulder and edge-related wear across 2022, 2023, and 2024, which often indicates persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
