2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · LC62 OTN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its two most recent MOT examinations without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 185,175 miles showed no failures, indicating that the previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed. This suggests an improving trend in maintenance standards, moving from a period of recurring component wear to a clean record over the last eighteen months. The mileage reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,200 miles per year over its 14-year life. Between December 2021 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 24,966 miles, maintaining a steady rate of roughly 6,200 miles annually. There is a notable gap in the records between June 2019 and January 2021, but the overall data suggests the van has been used as a dedicated commercial or long-distance tool, which naturally accelerates the wear on drivetrain and chassis components. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these areas show a history of recurring faults. The tester flagged a worn suspension arm ball joint in 2021 and a track rod end issue in 2022, suggesting the front-end geometry is prone to wear under load. Additionally, the braking history shows a pattern of thin pads and pitted discs recorded in 2017, 2018, and 2023. While the current MOT passes, the thickness of the remaining pads and the condition of the rotors should be verified to ensure the high mileage has not led to accelerated thinning or seized calipers.
