2013 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · LB62 NHN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 14 May 2025 at 165,906 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a technical failure just three miles prior on the same day. This specific sequence suggests a minor adjustment or perhaps a sensor-related fault that was rectified immediately before the retest, as the vehicle has maintained a record of no advisories or defects across the previous four annual inspections. The mileage reflects a consistently high-use pattern, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per year over its thirteen-year life-span. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the vehicle covered 39,558 miles, maintaining a steady rate of roughly 13,000 miles annually without any significant periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation indicates the van was likely used for regular commercial or transit duties rather than sitting idle, which often helps keep components lubricated, though the lack of recorded advisories despite this high mileage suggests that the previous owners addressed wear and tear before it reached the point of failing the test standards. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the heavy-duty components typical of a high-mileage Vauxhall Vivaro. Given the 165,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is vital as these parts often suffer fatigue under constant load. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion issues, a manual inspection of the chassis for emerging rust is necessary for a vehicle of this age. Additionally, checking the brakes for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs will ensure that the high mileage has not resulted in neglected mechanical degradation.
