Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this Vivaro, your primary focus should be the braking system. The January 2026 MOT recorded worn and pitted discs alongside thin pads on both the nearside and offside front wheels. Ensure these have been replaced or factor the cost of a full front brake service into your negotiation.
Additionally, check the condition of the suspension. A worn nearside front suspension arm bush was noted in December 2024, so listen for knocks or uneven tyre wear during a test drive. You should also verify the VIN sticker on the driver's door, as the 2026 MOT noted it is peeling and potentially misreadable, which can cause issues with future inspections or official checks.
As a 1.6L diesel van, running costs will be heavily influenced by your annual mileage and load capacity. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally efficient for commercial use, though heavy loads will impact these figures.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve routine servicing of diesel components and wear-and-tear items like the brakes and suspension components identified in the MOT history. You should also account for road tax and insurance, which for a 2017 Vivaro will depend on the specific insurance group and tax band assigned to this 1598cc engine.
The most critical inspection point is the front braking assembly. Given the January 2026 MOT results (pitted/scored discs and thin pads on both sides), you must confirm whether these components have been renewed since the test.
Secondly, inspect the front suspension. The 2024 MOT advisory regarding a worn nearside front suspension arm bush suggests you should check for any play in the steering or unusual noises when driving over bumps. Finally, locate the VIN sticker on the driver's door to assess the extent of the peeling mentioned in the recent MOT record.
This 2017 white Vauxhall Vivaro has covered 111,587 miles since its first registration in August 2017. The MOT history shows a relatively clean period between 2022 and 2023, but the most recent test in January 2026 flagged multiple issues with front brake discs and pads. The mileage is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age and type.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Vivaro to provide a comparative benchmark.
