2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · LL12 WVA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-26 at 109,611 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests show inconsistent outcomes, including a fail on 2025-06-23 at 109,592 miles and a fail on 2023-05-30 at 97,772 miles, though neither recorded defects. This suggests potential administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical failures. The absence of recorded defects in the last three passes (2025, 2024, 2023) implies routine compliance, but the recurring fails without explanation raise questions about the reliability of the MOT process for this vehicle. The mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 97,791 miles recorded in 2023 and 109,611 miles in 2025, averaging 11,820 miles annually. This exceeds the vehicle’s typical 7,829-mile average, indicating higher usage that could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. No significant gaps in the MOT history exist, but the lack of defect details in fails limits insight into potential underlying issues. The vehicle’s age and mileage align with standard depreciation curves, though higher usage may necessitate closer scrutiny of drivetrain and exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritize in-person checks for corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system and underbody, given the vehicle’s age. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be inspected for wear, as higher mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant attention due to the potential for binding or uneven wear. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate risks, so a professional mechanical survey is advised to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond MOT records.
