Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this Vivaro, pay close attention to the suspension components. While the 2024 MOT noted light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber, you should check if this has been replaced or if it has progressed to a leak. Given the previous failures regarding brake pads in 2022, ask for evidence of recent brake servicing to ensure the current pads and discs have sufficient life remaining.
Since this is a 1.6L diesel engine, ensure the vehicle has been used for a variety of driving conditions. If it has only been used for short urban trips, check for signs of DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues. Always verify the service history to see if the oil changes have been performed at the recommended intervals, as this is critical for the longevity of the turbocharger and diesel engine components.
As a 1598cc diesel, this Vivaro is designed for efficiency during longer hauls, though fuel economy will vary significantly based on load weight and driving style. You should check the specific Euro 6 emissions rating to confirm its suitability for Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) or Clean Air Zones (CAZ), which will impact daily operating costs.
Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically moderate for a light commercial vehicle. Maintenance costs will be influenced by the wear and tear of commercial use; expect regular expenses for tyres, brakes, and diesel-specific filters. An estimated annual running cost of £1,400-£1,800 is a reasonable baseline, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Based on the MOT history, specifically the 2024 advisory for shock absorber misting, you should visually inspect all four shock absorbers for any signs of active oil leaks or excessive movement. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres; the 2024 record highlighted a front tyre worn close to the legal limit, so ensure the current set has healthy tread depth and even wear.
Check the electrical components thoroughly, as previous MOTs noted inoperative registration plate lamps and position lamps. Finally, inspect the braking system. The 2022 failure for thin brake pads on both front and rear suggests a need for regular inspection, so check the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs for any scoring or heavy corrosion.
This 2019 grey Vauxhall Vivaro has covered 49,153 miles since its first registration in February 2019, which is relatively low for a commercial vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor maintenance items, including brake pads and shock absorber misting, but the most recent test in January 2025 recorded no defects. The vehicle appears to have been used moderately, with mileage increasing by roughly 9,000 miles per year on average.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Vivaro to provide a definitive model-wide comparison.
