2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · MW68 CAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the van passed its January 2026 test at 117,145 miles with no defects, the immediate failure just one day prior highlights significant neglect of basic safety items. The trend is unstable, as the vehicle consistently fails with multiple mechanical and tyre-related faults, suggesting the previous owner only addressed the minimum requirements to obtain a pass certificate. At 117,145 miles over seven years, this Vauxhall Vivaro has covered an average of approximately 16,700 miles per year. The data shows rapid mileage accumulation, particularly between February 2024 (76,342 miles) and February 2025 (95,818 miles), where nearly 20,000 miles were clocked in a single year. This puts considerable strain on heavy-duty components, which has resulted in recurring failures of the suspension and braking systems across the recorded history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows persistent issues with anti-roll bar linkages and bushes in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. The braking system requires close scrutiny; the January 2026 failure for thin offside rear pads and significantly worn discs, combined with an inability to test brake performance, indicates potential caliper binding. Furthermore, the frequent reports of tyre damage, nails, and mismatched sizes on axles suggests a lack of basic vehicle maintenance and alignment checks, which likely leads to premature wear on the drivetrain components.
