2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · VX18 RGZ

The 2018 Vauxhall Vivaro currently holds a valid MOT certificate, having passed its most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 104,241 miles. The maintenance trend remains entirely stable, with no defects recorded across the documented history. A failed test on 25 May 2025 at 104,044 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting an aborted test or a procedural issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle presents a clean bill of health on paper, though the high annual mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of wear components. Accumulating 104,241 miles over eight years equates to roughly 13,030 miles annually, a high figure for this age. The mileage progression reveals intense early use, jumping from 59,544 miles in May 2021 to 79,343 miles by June 2022, a gain of nearly 20,000 miles in twelve months. The rate subsequently moderated, climbing 14,600 miles over the following two years to reach 93,943 miles in June 2024, and adding a further 10,300 miles to the present 104,241 miles. This pattern indicates sustained commercial workload rather than prolonged standing, placing significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain and chassis. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, the heavy usage warrants a rigorous physical assessment of structural and mechanical components. Inspect the chassis and load floor for corrosion or cracking, common issues on high-mileage vans subjected to heavy payloads. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and examine the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. Assess the drivetrain for excessive play in the driveshafts and gearbox, as sustained high-mileage commercial use accelerates the fatigue of these critical components.
