2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · SW11 AUF

The current roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Vivaro is defined by a clean pass on 24 November 2025 at 174,697 miles. The recent MOT history shows a transition from inconsistent outcomes to a stable, defect-free record. While the vehicle failed tests on 4 December 2023 and 6 December 2024, these failures were rectified immediately, resulting in subsequent passes on the same or following week. This pattern suggests that while the vehicle required immediate intervention to meet regulatory standards, the issues were resolved promptly to clear the MOT requirements. Accumulating 174,697 miles over fifteen years results in an average of approximately 11,646 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage progression remains consistent throughout the recorded history, indicating regular operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no significant gaps in the testing cycle, and the vehicle has maintained a predictable pattern of annual inspection. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical components that often escape notice during a basic MOT test. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs require a thorough check for play or fatigue, as these items are prone to degradation on heavy-duty chassis. Although the recent tests show no recorded defects, the underlying structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches should be examined for hidden corrosion, which is a common issue for this model. Inspecting the brake lines and checking for any signs of fluid seepage around the calipers will provide a clearer picture of the vehicle condition beyond the scope of the MOT certificate. Buying score: 62. Risk level: Medium.
