2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FN62 UDK

The 2012 Vauxhall Vivaro presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 192,797 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the van passed cleanly at 172,931 miles on 3 December 2024, following a failed attempt on 2 December 2024 at the same mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The sequence of passes from 22 November 2022 at 152,640 miles through 25 November 2023 at 160,082 miles shows no advisories or recurring defects across the recorded history. Annual mileage averages 13,771 against the vehicle's fourteen-year life, placing this panel van at the high end for its age. The records show steady accumulation: 7,442 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, then 12,849 miles to the 2024 test, and 19,866 miles to the 2025 test, a gradually rising usage rate. No long dormant periods appear, and the sparse five-entry history with zero advisories suggests either light-touch testing or genuine lack of flagged wear, though high total mileage demands scrutiny of consumables the MOT may not capture. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue given the 192,797 miles on the original platform. The clean record offers no warning on structural corrosion or exhaust emissions, yet the Vivaro's age invites underbody rust checks around sills and chassis mounts that testers can miss on a brief lift. Verify the 2 December 2024 failure cause with the testing station, as a no-defect fail often points to documentation or identification mismatch rather than roadworthiness. Budget for tyres, wiper blades, and possible drivetrain wear; the absence of advisories does not negate the mechanical reality of a high-mileage commercial vehicle.
