2002 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · FP52 AKY

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 156,594 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 11 March 2025 shows the vehicle has cleared two consecutive annual examinations without advisories. This indicates the current keeper has maintained the van to a standard that satisfies DVSA roadworthiness criteria. Recorded mileage sits at 156,594 against a 24-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,525 miles per year which is typical for this age of light commercial vehicle. The records show 130,218 miles on 10 March 2023, rising to 143,444 by 1 March 2024 and then 156,594 by March 2025, a steady annual accumulation near 13,000 miles that later flatlined through to the 2026 test. The failure logged on 3 March 2025 at identical mileage to the subsequent pass eight days later suggests a clerical or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect, since no faults were listed on either certificate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis and sills, as the MOT history records no advisories yet offers no detail on underbody condition for a vehicle of this vintage. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue given the 156,594 miles accrued. The absence of flagged consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades across five tests implies either diligent replacement or cursory test reporting, so verify tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions independently before purchase.
