2021 Vauxhall Vivaro-E 3100 Dynamic Electric · M50 TMX

The most recent MOT test conducted on 22 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the vehicle history since 2024, the maintenance trend appears stable and consistent. The absence of structural failures or major mechanical defects suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition, with only minor consumable wear noted in previous years. The recorded mileage of 10,781 miles is exceptionally low for a five year old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 2,156 miles per year. While this indicates minimal wear on the electric drivetrain, motor, and suspension components, such low usage often suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This pattern of use shifts the mechanical concern from wear-and-tear to degradation caused by standing, which can affect various rubber components and fluid integrity. Particular attention should be paid to the tyres, as the August 2025 MOT highlighted perishing and cracking on the sidewalls of both front tyres. Sidewall perishing occurs when the rubber compounds dry out due to age and UV exposure rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should closely inspect all four tyres for similar hairline cracks or a hardened rubber texture, as this compromises structural integrity and increases the risk of failure. During a test drive, listen for any unusual vibrations or humming that could indicate uneven tyre wear or flat spots from prolonged standing. Given the low annual mileage, it is essential to verify that maintenance has been performed according to time intervals rather than just mileage. Check the service record for brake fluid flushes and coolant changes, as these degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or signs of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not used frequently. Finally, evaluate the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as infrequent charging cycles can shorten its lifespan, and ensure there are no signs of leakage or corrosion around the battery terminals.
