2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 3100 Sportive S/S 2.0L Diesel · ST69 EHL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but shows a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its latest MOT in September 2025 at 98,598 miles, it failed that same test due to multiple safety defects including a failed nearside rear stop lamp and two front tyres with tread depths at or below the legal 1.6mm limit. This pattern suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative inspections. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between September 2024 at 72,733 miles and September 2025 at 98,598 miles, representing over 25,000 miles driven in a single year. This rapid accumulation places heavy strain on the commercial-grade components, particularly evidenced by the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear and damage across the 2024 and 2025 records. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the central front oil leak flagged in the 2025 test. Although the tester noted it was not excessive at the time, leaks on high-mileage engines often indicate deteriorating gaskets or oil seals that will worsen if left unaddressed. The recurring mentions of tyres worn on the edge in both 2024 and 2025 point toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and ball joints which should be checked for excessive play to prevent further component degradation.
