2014 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FN14 BUJ

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the sole recorded test expired on 16 June 2023. The most recent examination on 16 June 2022 at 162,663 miles passed without any defects, indicating the van met minimum safety standards at that time. However, the absence of any subsequent tests makes the current maintenance trend impossible to verify. A four-year gap without a recorded test raises immediate concerns about the vehicle's ongoing roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 162,663 miles equates to an average of roughly 13,555 miles per year, a figure consistent with sustained commercial use rather than light domestic driving. The data shows zero mileage accumulation between the June 2022 test and today, 8 July 2026. This stagnation suggests the vehicle has either been standing idle for four years or has been driven without a valid MOT. Prolonged standing poses its own risks, including seized brakes, perished rubber suspension bushes, and degraded fluids. Given the extended period without a recorded test, a thorough physical inspection is essential before any purchase. A buyer must examine the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor for corrosion, a common issue on high-mileage vans. The braking system requires close scrutiny; calipers can bind and discs can corrode heavily if a vehicle sits stationary. Suspension components, particularly the coil springs and trailing arm bushes, need checking for deterioration. Tyres will almost certainly suffer from flat-spotting and sidewall perishing after four years of static load. Fluids, including the engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid, demand immediate replacement due to moisture absorption over time.
