2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · ML62 EUN

This 2012 Vauxhall Vivaro holds a current MOT pass obtained on March 12, 2026, at 169,953 miles, following an initial failure two days prior for a leaking offside front shock absorber and split constant velocity boots on both sides. The maintenance trend displays a recurring pattern of structural and suspension component wear rather than immediate stabilization, evidenced by repeat advisories for corroded brake lines and worn brake discs appearing across consecutive annual test cycles. The vehicle has accumulated 169,953 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 12,140 miles annually, which represents high usage for a commercial platform of this age. The testing frequency reflects standard annual intervals without notable gaps or extended periods of inactivity, with tests recorded consecutively in February and March of 2024, 2025, and 2026. This high-mileage accumulation points to heavy operational use, placing continuous mechanical stress on the drivetrain, braking systems, and suspension architecture. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the front axle and underbody components highlighted in the MOT history. Mechanics should check the condition of the recently addressed front shock absorbers and drive shaft boots to verify proper installation and sealing. Particular attention belongs on the brake system, specifically examining the front brake discs, pads, and the front-to-rear brake pipes noted for corrosion and grease contamination. Steering rack inner joints and the nearside rear axle swivel pins and bushes require hands-on evaluation for play and wear before purchase.
