2010 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · RF10 NFL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 at 86 704 miles. The maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of a failure followed by an immediate pass each year—2025‑01‑18 failed, 2025‑01‑23 passed, 2026‑01‑20 failed, and 2026‑01‑23 passed. This alternating cycle, resolved within days, indicates a stable regime where identified issues are promptly rectified. At 86 704 miles over a 16‑year lifespan, the average annual mileage of roughly 5 400 miles is low for a 2010 model. The record contains a two‑year gap between the 2023 test (84 832 miles) and the 2025 test (85 771 miles), then a three‑day retest window in January 2026 covering only 19 miles. The sparse data and minimal mileage accumulation suggest light use, but also limit insight into long‑term wear trends. A buyer should inspect the braking system closely, focusing on rear caliper binding, disc condition, and pad wear, as the repeated failures point to possible brake‑related issues that were cleared on retest. Suspension bushes and coil springs merit scrutiny for fatigue, despite low mileage, and the underbody should be examined for corrosion or rust that can develop during periods of inactivity. Finally, verify that any undocumented failure reasons—such as tyre tread, exhaust emissions, or electrical faults—were fully addressed and not merely deferred.
