2008 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · SP08 AFA

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 24 October 2025 at 96,130 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in October 2024 and October 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories, showing no worsening mechanical condition across the three-year window. The recorded mileage of 96,130 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 5,341 miles per year against an 18-year-old van, a low figure for this age and type of commercial vehicle. Annual accumulation stayed consistent: 83,512 miles on 9 October 2023, 88,936 on 9 October 2024, and 96,130 on 24 October 2025, giving around 5,400 miles each year with no gaps or sudden jumps. The clean record with no advisories across all entries suggests either light use or careful periodic maintenance, though low standing mileage can mask perished rubber components and corrosion not caught in a static test. Both 2023 and 2024 entries show an initial fail on the same date as the pass with no defects listed, indicating administrative or presentational rejections rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the vehicle's age. Check exhaust emissions and for structural rust at chassis mounting points, as these areas degrade on Vivaros regardless of low recorded mileage.
