2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · VU12 TKX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record for the last several years. While the test on 10 November 2025 at 90,158 miles resulted in a failure due to seriously defective headlamp lenses on both sides, the issue was rectified immediately to secure a pass with no further recorded defects. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing safety-critical failures once they are flagged by the DVSA. The mileage pattern remains consistent with light commercial use for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year over the last fourteen years. Between November 2022 at 70,458 miles and November 2025 at 90,158 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 20,000 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of stasid or standing, which generally benefits the health of seals and mechanical components, though it does not exempt the vehicle from age-related wear common in older vans. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are the primary points of failure for the Vivaro of this era despite a clean MOT history. Check the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear mounting points and sills, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. Given the low annual mileage, verify the brake system for signs of seizing or binding calipers, as infrequently used brakes can suffer from surface rust on the discs.
