2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · SP62 AEC

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT pass on 15 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. The absence of any flagged mechanical or structural issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging approximately 10,021 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 129,897 miles and the October 2025 test at 140,298 miles, the vehicle covered 10,401 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and braking components from seizing. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the lack of recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a 14-year-old commercial vehicle. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and load areas for surface corrosion or structural rust, as these are common failure points for the Vivaro that may not have been highlighted in these specific tests. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components naturally degrade at 140,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical engine components are not checked during a standard MOT test but are vital for avoiding catastrophic engine failure.
