Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This is a high-mil
Given the 218,095 miles on the clock, the most critical item to verify in the service history is the timing belt and water pump replacement interval. You should also request evidence of the repairs made following the February 2022 MOT failure, specifically regarding the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) fault and the parking brake efficiency.
Running costs for this 2.0L diesel will be dominated by fuel and maintenance. While the engine is a workhorse, a vehicle of this age and mileage typically requires more frequent part replacements to remain roadworthy. Insurance and tax will be standard for a commercial vehicle of this era, but maintenance budgets should be higher than average.
Pay close attention to the front suspension and steering. The February 2024 MOT noted play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and track rod end, following a 2022 failure of both front lower suspension arm ball joints. Ensure these components are not knocking or excessively loose during a test drive.
Additionally, check that the SRS warning lamp is not illuminated on the dashboard and test the parking brake thoroughly, as both were points of failure in 2022. Inspect the silver paintwork and chassis for signs of corrosion, which is common for vans of this age.
This silver 2007 Vauxhall Vivaro has recorded 218,095 miles as of its last MOT in February 2024. The vehicle's history is marked by a significant failure in 2022 involving the parking brake and SRS warning lamp, alongside recurring issues with front-end suspension components. While it has passed its most recent tests, current advisories suggest ongoing wear to the steering and suspension.
