2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.5L Diesel · FN61 PSU

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 4 April 2025 at 200,489 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history reveals a recurring pattern of administrative failures immediately followed by passes at identical mileages, suggesting documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical decline. The vehicle cleared the 2025, 2023, and 2022 tests without advisories, indicating no escalating wear flagged across the three-year span. At roughly 13,366 miles per year, this 2011 panel van shows high cumulative use for its age, now past 200,000 miles. The records show steady accumulation: 175,163 miles in September 2022, 188,608 by December 2023, and 200,489 by April 2025. That equates to about 12,000 to 13,000 miles annually, consistent and unremarkable for a working van. A notable gap sits between the September 2022 pass and the December 2023 failure, over fifteen months with no test, implying the vehicle may have been off-road or simply delayed its annual check. The December 2023 failure at 188,608 miles and the April 2025 failure at 200,486 miles both list no defects, yet both converted to passes within days. This points to previous owners addressing minor presentation faults, likely tyre tread, number plate, or emissions prep, rather than structural neglect. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust were ever raised across the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of load-bearing structures and drivetrain given the mileage. Check subframe corrosion, coil springs, and binding calipers visually. The clean MOT trail offers reassurance, but high-mileage Vivaros commonly hide wear in steering joints and clutch components that road tests alone will not expose.
