2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FT15 BNV

The 2015 Vauxhall Vivaro demonstrates an improving mechanical maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 16 June 2025 at 65,803 miles with zero defects recorded. This follows a more troubled testing history where previous neglect of consumable items resulted in a test failure. The current roadworthiness status is sound, showing that prior owner intervention successfully rectified the electrical and braking issues flagged during earlier examinations. The vehicle has covered a modest 65,803 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,982 miles annually. This low mileage accumulation reflects light commercial use or periods of inactivity. A gap of nearly twelve months between the June 2024 pass and the June 2025 test aligns with consistent annual servicing. The absence of advisories in the two most recent tests indicates that the vehicle has settled into a more attentive maintenance routine. A prospective buyer must inspect the front braking system in person to verify the condition of the discs and pads fitted during the 2024 repairs. The history shows a recurring pattern of rapid front brake wear, noted as thin pads and lipped discs in June 2023 and again at the failure in June 2024. Check the front ABS wiring harnesses on both the nearside and offside for secure clipping and chafing, given the previous damage recorded at 60,959 miles. Finally, examine the front tyres for perishing or sidewall cracking, repeating the issue flagged in the June 2022 test at 50,371 miles.
