2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · LM11 FDV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 24 July 2025 at 100,330 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the immediate failure on that same date indicates reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The tester failed the vehicle due to an illegible front registration plate, obscured headlamp lenses, and an excessively worn bush on the offside front upper shock absorber. These issues were rectified to achieve the pass, suggesting the owner is willing to address MOT failures once identified. At 15 years old, the recorded 100,330 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with light commercial or secondary vehicle use. The mileage data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 10,700 miles covered between February 2022 and August 2023, and another 4,400 miles between August 2024 and July 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to perished rubber components and brake seizing in vans. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the worn shock absorber bush flagged in 2025 indicates potential wear in the front-end geometry. The August 2024 test also noted deteriorated headlights and a 3mm tyre on the offside rear, showing that consumable items are replaced only when they approach the legal limit. Given the age of the Vivaro, a physical check for structural corrosion on the chassis and mounting points is essential, as the record does not explicitly highlight rust advisories but they remain common for this model at this mileage.
