2007 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · KD57 FFX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2024 with 216,808 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the 2022 test revealed several minor faults and advisories, the vehicle has operated for the last eighteen months without further recorded failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. Between January 2021 and July 2022, the vehicle covered 10,565 miles, indicating a period of regular use. The interval of 7,894 miles recorded between July 2022 and October 2024 suggests a steady usage pattern. The high total mileage of 216,000 miles places significant wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension-related components. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension, as the nearside track rod end ball joint was flagged for slight play in both 2022 and 2023. Although the 2024 test was clear, the buyer should verify that this component was replaced and that no new play has developed in the steering. The report of low engine oil during the 2022 test necessitates a thorough check for oil consumption or external leaks to ensure the engine remains healthy at this high mileage bracket. Given the age and high mileage of this Vivaro, a close examination of structural integrity is also required, particularly around the sills and mounting points where corrosion typically develops on these models.
