2008 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · OU08 AEJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑04‑10 recorded a pass with no defects at 239 075 miles. The maintenance trend is stable‑to‑improving: after a single failure in April 2023 at 222 685 miles, the subsequent tests in April 2024 and April 2025 both returned clean passes, indicating that any issue was resolved and no new faults have emerged. Mileage accumulation shows a clear acceleration in recent years. Between April 2022 (221 023 miles) and April 2023 the odometer rose only 1 662 miles, but the year to April 2024 added 5 817 miles, and the following year added 10 573 miles. This jump to roughly 18 000 miles annually in the last cycle points to heavier usage and places the vehicle well above the typical 13 000 miles‑per‑year average for its age. The record is otherwise clean, with annual tests and no intervening gaps beyond the standard yearly interval. Given the high mileage and the single historic failure, a buyer should inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or excessive wear, examine the brake discs and pads for thinning and any binding calipers, and check the exhaust for corrosion or leaks. Tyre tread depth and even wear should be verified, as should the presence of rust or structural corrosion around wheel arches and the underbody. A visual check for oil leaks, drivetrain noise, and a review of service documentation will provide a fuller picture of the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT data.
