2010 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · RX10 FGD

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 5 September 2025 at 71,753 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared two consecutive tests in 2025 without advisories, following a clean pass on 18 March 2024 at 66,301 miles. The only blemish in the record is a failure on 14 March 2024 at 66,296 miles, reversed four days later with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or minor pre-check issue rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 16 years old the van shows 71,753 miles, equating to about 4,485 miles per year, which is low for a 2010 light commercial. The record confirms gentle use: it covered just 5,536 miles between the April 2023 test at 60,762 miles and the March 2024 pass at 66,301 miles, then only 5,452 miles across the next eighteen months to September 2025. Such low annual accumulation suggests long idle periods, a pattern that can hide perished seals or flat-spotted tyres despite the clean sheets. The absence of any advisories across five tests means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the rear coil springs and brake calipers, as these items commonly degrade on Vivaros left standing. Verify the tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, given the low mileage. The sparse, defect-free history implies prior owners kept basic statutory testing current but offers no insight into interim servicing. Treat the 2024 failure as negligible. Given the van's light use, a pre-purchase check of fluid condition and coolant hoses remains sensible before commitment.
