2008 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FN58 LSC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT pass from February 2025, but the most recent test revealed a parking brake efficiency issue on the offside rear, indicating the braking system requires adjustment or repair. While the overall trend shows improvement compared to earlier failures, recurring brake and suspension defects suggest ongoing maintenance needs rather than a fully resolved condition. Mileage accumulation averages roughly 9,881 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows regular annual testing with no significant gaps, though the mileage increased steadily from 137,684 in December 2019 to 177,865 in February 2025, reflecting consistent use over six years. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the rear brake system, particularly the parking brake mechanism, given its recent advisory. The nearside rear coil spring failure recorded in 2023 warrants checking for further suspension wear, alongside the anti-roll bar linkage and Macpherson strut top mounts previously flagged. Front brake unevenness and worn pads noted in 2016 suggest monitoring brake disc condition. Engine oil leaks observed in both 2018 and 2019 require verification that repairs were completed and remain effective.
