2008 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · JC04 NOC

The Vauxhall Vivaro passed its most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 233,840 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable, with clean passes in 2024 and 2023 alongside the latest certificate. Two failed tests in early October 2025 and June 2023 at near-identical mileages show administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults, as the record lists no defects on either occasion. The van shows 233,840 miles against an 18-year life, averaging roughly 12,991 miles per year. This is high for a 2008 light commercial, pointing to sustained hard use. Mileage moved from 223,504 in June 2023 to 226,248 by June 2024, then jumped to 233,840 by October 2025. The sparse record gives only five entries across two years, so long gaps between tests leave wear between 2024 and 2025 undocumented. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, given the age and salt-exposure risk on a Vivaro of this era. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for fatigue from the high annual load. Brake discs and calipers warrant a physical check for binding or uneven wear despite the clean advisories. The repeated no-defect failures suggest the previous owner used quick retests rather than addressing hidden issues. Verify service history and confirm the October 2025 pass reflects genuine condition, not a paperwork correction.
