2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · R4 GTM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 172,238 miles with no defects recorded. This reflects a period of consistent maintenance following more turbulent mechanical history in 2022 and 2023. While the vehicle previously struggled with significant failures, the recent clean passes suggest the current owner has addressed the underlying issues and is maintaining the vehicle effectively. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eleven-year-old van, averaging approximately 15,600 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage recorded between March 2021 and March 2022, where the vehicle covered over 60,000 miles in a single year. Since that period, the accumulation has normalized to a more consistent rate of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. This heavy workload typically places substantial stress on the drivetrain and suspension-related components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry given the history of recurring faults in these areas. The March 2022 failure revealed critical issues including seriously weakened rear brake discs, twisted brake hoses, and inoperative parking brakes. Although these were rectified, the 2023 failure again flagged poor parking brake efficiency, necessitating a thorough check for any signs of binding calipers or seized adjusters now. Additionally, the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints were flagged as excessively worn in 2022, so the buyer should test for lateral play in the front suspension to ensure the wear pattern has not returned under the high mileage.
