2021 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Edition S/S 2.0L Diesel · OU21 AYF

The 2026-06-18 test on 86,051 miles was passed, but the MOT history reveals a clear deterioration trend that has shifted from a passing record to a failure. The most recent registration from October 2025 indicates that the vehicle has maintained a passing score despite significant mileage accumulation over the past two years, suggesting the issue is not a recent scratch but a progressive mechanical failure. This pattern of passing at high mileage followed by a failure shortly thereafter indicates that the vehicle's mechanical integrity is deteriorating, with the brakes and suspension components likely becoming the primary focus for inspection. The mileage record shows a distinct gap between the 2024 and 2025 registrations, where the vehicle was tested on 66,148 miles in September 2024 before failing in October 2025. This gap of roughly 1.5 years suggests that the vehicle was not maintained during the winter months, potentially leading to the accumulation of wear that would have been caught earlier. The fact that the car passed in October 2025 while the previous test was in September 2024 implies that the wear rate has accelerated since the 2024 test, pointing to a worsening trend rather than a stable one. A buyer must inspect for structural and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the suspension, brakes, and exhaust. The failure in October 2025, occurring at the same mileage as the 2024 test, suggests a consistent problem rather than a temporary glitch. The vehicle's history of passing in October 2025 while the previous test was in September 2024 indicates that the issue is likely a recurring structural failure rather than a simple consumable wear. This warrants a thorough check of the suspension components, brake discs, and exhaust system for corrosion or binding, as these are the most probable causes for the progressive deterioration observed in the MOT record.
