2021 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Sportive S/S 2.0L Diesel · LL71 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-18 at 57,005 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date shows a failed test with no defects listed, creating inconsistency in the record. This suggests potential data entry errors or administrative confusion. The prior 2024-10-17 test at 38,042 miles also showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 18 months. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns are evident from the recorded tests, but the lack of intermediate MOTs between 2024 and 2026 raises questions about compliance and usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,005 miles over five years equates to approximately 11,401 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, the 19,000-mile increase between the 2024-10-17 test and the 2026-03-18 test occurred over 18 months, suggesting accelerated wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The absence of MOT records for 2025 further complicates the assessment, as it leaves a 12-month gap where potential issues could have gone unrecorded. This pattern may indicate infrequent servicing or reliance on periodic inspections rather than proactive maintenance. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the mileage and age. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as high annual mileage can accelerate degradation. The exhaust system and underbody should also be scrutinised for rust or damage, as these are common in vehicles with limited exposure to controlled environments. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the incomplete records and gaps in testing warrant careful verification of the vehicle’s service history and mechanical condition.
