2006 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · NK06 CGF

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable maintenance trend with a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 28 November 2025 at 196,522 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of readiness without the recurring failures common in older commercial vans. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 20-year-old work vehicle. Between the December 2021 test at 177,398 miles and the November 2025 test at 196,522 miles, the vehicle covered 19,124 miles over nearly four years. This average of roughly 4,800 miles per year in recent years suggests a period of lighter use compared to its overall lifetime average, which reduces the immediate risk of rapid drivetrain wear. Despite the clean MOT history, the age and total mileage of nearly 200,000 miles necessitate a targeted physical inspection. The DVSA records do not flag structural corrosion or suspension failure, but these are high-risk areas for a 2006 Vivaro. A buyer should specifically check the chassis rails and sills for rust and inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade regardless of whether they trigger an MOT failure. Check for any signs of oil leaks or smoke from the exhaust to assess the health of the engine and turbocharger. While the lack of advisories since 2021 suggests diligent upkeep, the absence of recorded defects on a high-mileage van can sometimes mask deferred maintenance on non-critical consumables. Verify the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs to ensure the vehicle is not due for immediate service costs.
