2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP15 TFF

The roadworthiness of this vehicle shows a pattern of recurring mechanical failures, with the most recent April 2026 test resulting in a failure before a subsequent pass. The frequency of major defects, including binding brakes and tyre damage, indicates that the vehicle requires consistent intervention to meet legal standards. The transition from a Dangerous failure in 2025 to a pass in 2026 suggests that while the vehicle is currently compliant, the underlying mechanical condition remains volatile rather than stable. With 169,780 miles recorded over eleven years, the vehicle averages approximately 15,435 miles per annum. This high-intensity usage is consistent across the provided record, reflecting heavy operational demands. The consistent accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle has been in near-constant service, which correlates with the frequent wear-related advisories and component failures observed in the annual test cycle. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems, as these components appear frequently in the failure logs. Specifically, check the rear brake calipers for signs of binding and inspect all brake hoses for signs of twisting or degradation. The suspension history, including previous fractures and ball joint failures, necessitates a thorough check of the track rod ends, anti-roll bar bushes, and coil springs. Finally, the recurring tyre damage and registration plate deterioration suggest a lack of preventative attention to basic consumables, requiring a comprehensive audit of the current tyre condition and structural integrity of the wheel rims. Buying score: 35. Risk level: High.
