2022 Vauxhall Vivaro F3100 Dynamic S/S 2.0L Diesel · L7 GLT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a successful MOT on 30 June 2026 at 75,011 miles. This pass followed a failure on the same day at 75,010 miles, where the tester identified an inoperative rear registration plate lamp, a non-excessive oil leak, and pitted rear brake discs. While the most recent test shows no defects, the immediate necessity of repairs to address these items indicates that the vehicle was not maintained to a high standard immediately prior to testing. The mileage accumulation is significant for a vehicle of this age. The record shows 70,899 miles in September 2025 and 75,011 miles in June 2026, representing an increase of 4,112 miles in just nine months. Averaging over 18,000 miles per year, this van operates under high-utilization conditions. Such heavy usage typically accelerates the wear of consumable components and places higher stress on the drivetrain and suspension systems compared to average domestic vehicles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and the engine bay. The June 2026 failure specifically flagged worn and pitted rear brake discs, suggesting that while they were replaced or rectified for the pass, the service life of the braking components is a recurring concern. The recorded oil leak, although described as not excessive, warrants a close examination of the engine seals and sump to ensure it does not develop into a more significant mechanical fault. The recurring issue with registration plate lamps, noted in both the September 2025 and June 2026 tests, suggests a pattern of neglecting minor electrical upkeep. While these are simple bulb replacements, they reflect a tendency to overlook basic maintenance tasks. Beyond the documented faults, the high annual mileage necessitates a careful check of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and tyre tread depth to ensure the vehicle has not been driven to the limit of its service intervals.
