2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · KV19 FVP

This 2019 Vauxhall Vivaro has covered 160,076 miles, averaging roughly 22,868 miles per year. This is high mileage for a seven-year-old vehicle, suggesting heavy commercial use which typically accelerates the wear of suspension, braking systems, and drivetrain components. The most recent MOT from March 2026 was a pass, but it flagged a minor issue with the offside front lower anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. Looking at the history, there is a clear pattern of wear emerging in the mechanical components. The 2025 MOT showed several issues including worn front tyres, thin brake pads, worn discs, and a nearside rear wheel bearing with play. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening. While the 2024 MOT was clean, the subsequent 2025 and 2026 tests show an increasing frequency of advisories and failures related to the suspension and braking systems. The presence of a failed Engine Management Light (MIL) check in April 2025, though rectified for the pass, is a point of caution regarding the vehicle's electronic health. Because of the high mileage and the recent trend of wear on consumables and steering/suspension parts, you must be diligent during a physical inspection. Prioritise checking the condition of the front brakes and discs, the play in the wheel bearings, and the overall state of the suspension bushings and linkages.
