2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · LS12 HFL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 March 2026 at 73,870 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across consecutive annual tests since 2022 indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,276 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 72,096 miles and March 2026 at 73,870 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,774 miles over four years. This consistent low-usage profile suggests that wear on the drivetrain, engine, and gearbox is significantly lower than a typical commercial vehicle of this age. The lack of any significant mileage spikes between tests confirms the vehicle has likely been used for short local trips rather than long-distance commuting. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on issues associated with low-mileage aging vehicles. The inspector should check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and coolant hoses, which degrade when a vehicle stands stationary for long periods. Close attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as the MOT test only flags corrosion once it reaches a specific depth threshold. Additionally, verify the brake discs and calipers for pitting or seizing, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion on the rotors.
