2009 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · RX59 FNW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its three most recent MOT tests without any recorded defects. The latest inspection in June 2025 at 230,275 miles indicates a clean certificate at that time. This represents a significant improvement over the state recorded in June 2022, suggesting that the previous owner addressed a comprehensive list of mechanical and wear issues that had previously caused a failure. At 230,275 miles, this 17-year-old Vivaro has covered significant mileage, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent use over time, with roughly 13,500 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 10,200 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used for regular commercial purposes, which places consistent strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to a vehicle that sits stationary. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking components which showed a history of degradation. The 2022 failure highlighted multiple issues including corroded coil springs, a worn trailing arm bush, and a corroded front brake pipe. While these were reportedly rectified, the high mileage and age of the vehicle mean that rubber bushes and metal components remain prone to fatigue and rust-related failure. The non-excessive oil leak noted in 2022 should also be monitored to ensure it has not worsened or remained unaddressed during subsequent servicing.
