2004 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · NT04 TGN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass in August 2024 at 113,390 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2023 and 2024, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues before they become permanent fixtures. The trend does not indicate signs of escalating mechanical failure or worsening structural decay over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,154 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the July 2022 test at 105,589 miles and the June 2023 test at 113,314 miles, where the vehicle covered roughly 7,725 miles in a year. This suggests periods of inactivity or very light use, which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components, seized brake calipers, or corrosion in the fuel system despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and floor pans, as low-mileage commercial vehicles often suffer from surface rust if left stationary. Given the two instances of failures recorded just days before the passing tests, the buyer should also check for minor consumable issues like bulbs, wipers, or tyres that may have triggered the initial rejections. Examining the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential to ensure the age of the vehicle has not caused the materials to perish despite the limited mechanical wear.
