2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · MF19 FHB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a developing trend of deferred suspension and lighting repairs. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 88,862 miles passed, the advisories for worn front anti-roll bar bushes and a nearside Macpherson strut pin indicate recurring issues that were previously flagged during the 2024 failure. This suggests that the previous owner is allowing minor suspension wear to persist until they reach a threshold of failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 88,862 miles over seven years, this Vivaro averages approximately 12,700 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle used regularly. The data shows a significant accumulation of mileage, with 10,670 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 11,141 miles in the following year. This consistent usage puts steady strain on drivetrain and suspension components, explaining the repeated failures related to shock absorber bushes and anti-roll bar hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of play on the shock mounts and anti-roll bar links. The recurring nature of these faults across the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the components may be nearing total fatigue failure. Additionally, the history of headlamp alignment issues and incompatible bulbs in 2023, followed by a registration lamp failure in 2025, indicates a lack of attention to basic electrical and lighting checks prior to testing.
