2010 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · FP10 NNK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the history reveals a reactive rather than proactive maintenance pattern. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 128,834 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior for electrical and mechanical faults. The trend shows a cycle where defects are only addressed once they trigger an MOT failure, evidenced by the recurring nature of brake components and suspension wear across the last eighteen months of recorded data. At 16 years old with 128,834 miles on the clock, the Vauxhall Vivaro averages approximately 8,000 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with a light commercial vehicle of this age. However, the interval between April 2024 and October 2024 shows an accumulation of only 1,055 miles, yet the vehicle failed multiple times during this period for critical brake efficiency and wheel bearing issues. This suggests that the vehicle may sit for extended periods, leading to component corrosion and the degradation of rubber components, or that servicing is neglected between annual inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The record flags a corroded offside rear brake pipe and a corroded offside front coil spring as of late 2025, indicating that oxidation is affecting structural integrity. The previous failure for parking brake efficiency below 50% and a worn nearside rear wheel bearing suggests the rear axle and braking assembly are under significant stress. Furthermore, the distorted nearside front road wheel noted in April 2024 indicates potential impact damage that could affect tracking alignment. Specific attention should also be paid to the electrical system. The 2025 failure for an inoperative engine management light and insecure ABS sensor wiring touching sharp edges points to poor wiring harness condition, which can lead to intermittent sensor faults in the future. Given the history of thin pads and scored discs across multiple tests, the buyer should verify the current thickness of all consumables to ensure the recent repairs were completed with quality rather than just meeting minimum legal demands.
