2002 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · LS51 APS

The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently unverified as the only available MOT record is over four years old. The last recorded test on 16 June 2022 resulted in a pass with no defects, suggesting the van was in a stable condition at that time. However, there is a significant gap in the testing history between June 2022 and the current date of July 2026. The recorded mileage of 196,252 miles is typical for a 24 year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 8,177 miles per year. Because the mileage remained static at 196,252 miles during the June 2022 test and no subsequent entries exist, the vehicle has likely been stationary for a prolonged period. Long-term dormancy often introduces mechanical issues that a clean MOT record from four years ago cannot account for. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Stationary vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers and perished brake hoses. The lack of recent data means the current state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls is unknown. Special attention should be paid to structural corrosion, particularly on the chassis and sills, as these areas deteriorate regardless of mileage. The engine and drivetrain require a cold-start evaluation to check for seized components or fluid leaks developed during the hiatus. Given the age and the four-year gap since the last official inspection, the vehicle should be treated as having an unknown mechanical baseline. A fresh MOT and a full service are essential to confirm the vehicle is safe for road use.
