2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FN61 RAX

The Vauxhall Vivaro passed its most recent MOT on 16 September 2022 at 221,060 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither improving nor worsening but simply undocumented beyond that point. Given today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle has stood for roughly three years and ten months since its last test, meaning the current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from DVSA data alone. The recorded history shows a single entry at 221,060 miles, which against the 2011 build year implies an average of around 14,700 miles per year and a high total for a fifteen-year-old light commercial. No earlier tests appear in the supplied record, so we cannot trace accumulation rates or identify gaps. The clean pass at that high mileage suggests the previous keeper presented it in acceptable condition on the day, though the absence of advisories offers no insight into worn consumables or latent corrosion. A buyer must treat the 2022 pass as stale. Three years of disuse on a high-mileage Vivaro invites seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and perished suspension bushes. The 2.0 diesel drivetrain and structural sills should be inspected for standing-water corrosion, particularly along the chassis rails and door frames. Verify the odometer against the 221,060 figure and commission a fresh MOT or independent inspection before purchase. Check brake disc condition, exhaust emissions, and any fluid leaks from the gearbox and PAS units, as these are common failure points on the platform once routine use lapses.
