Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence if the service history matches the MOT record. This Vivaro has maintained a clean MOT history for the last four years despite its high mileage.
Given the recorded mileage of 169,251 miles, your priority should be verifying the service history. While the MOT records show no defects, an MOT is a minimum standard test and does not confirm that regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance have occurred. Ask for proof of recent cambelt changes and clutch inspections, as these are critical components on high-mileage diesel vans.
When negotiating, consider the age and mileage; while the clean MOT history is a positive sign, the vehicle is approaching a stage where major mechanical components may require replacement. Ensure any claims regarding its mechanical health are backed up by physical service stamps or invoices.
As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be dictated by your annual mileage and payload. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized van from this era. Tax and insurance groups will vary based on your specific profile, but as a 2010 model, it should fall into a standard commercial bracket.
Maintenance costs on a vehicle with nearly 170,000 miles can be unpredictable. While the MOT history is currently clean, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres, and suspension components which are common maintenance requirements for high-use vans.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. Although no MOT failures have been recorded in the recent four-year period, high-mileage vans are prone to corrosion and suspension wear. Check the condition of the chassis and ensure there are no signs of heavy oil leaks from the 1995cc engine.
Test the vehicle thoroughly during a road test. Listen for any unusual noises from the drivetrain or suspension, and check that all lights and electrical components are functioning correctly. Since the 2025 MOT passed with no defects, the basic safety equipment appears to be in order, but a physical check of the tyre tread and brake pad thickness is still essential.
This 2010 Vauxhall Vivaro, finished in grey, is a high-mileage diesel workhorse with 169,251 miles on the clock. The vehicle has demonstrated a consistent ability to pass its MOT tests without any recorded defects since at least May 2022. While the mileage is significant for a 16-year-old vehicle, the recent lack of failures suggests it has been kept in a roadworthy state.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Vauxhall Vivaro to provide a specific reliability trend for this model.
