2008 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · NL58 VCJ

The Vauxhall Vivaro passed its most recent MOT on 17 December 2025 at 173,630 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the last three annual cycles, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures on 14 December 2023 and 17 December 2025 that carried no recorded defects, suggesting paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Mileage sat at 155,888 on 21 December 2023, rose to 165,781 by 13 December 2024, and reached 173,630 on 17 December 2025. That equates to roughly 9,900 miles per year across the recorded period, closely matching the 9,646 annual average for an 18-year-old van. The record shows no sparse gaps or sudden accumulation spikes; the three clean passes with no advisories indicate the previous keeper kept consumables and structure within test limits. A buyer should still inspect the Vivaro in person for age-related corrosion on sills, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, since the MOT logged no advisories despite the vehicle's 2008 build and 173,630 miles. Check the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear manually, as testers often omit minor wear items when they remain inside limits. The twin zero-defect failures without listed faults warrant a glance at the V5 and test paperwork to confirm no omitted entries. Otherwise the history implies steady, undramatic use with no recurring mechanical or structural trends requiring immediate concern.
