2006 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · WE02 DOG

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 129,023 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults or recurring advisories across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,451 miles for a 2006 panel van. The records show light use: 111,586 miles in January 2023, 112,688 miles in February 2024, 116,939 miles in January 2025, and 129,023 miles in January 2026. The largest single-year gain was about 12,000 miles between early 2025 and early 2026, still within normal bounds. A failed test on 26 January 2024 at 112,681 miles was followed six days later by a pass at 112,688 miles with no defects listed, suggesting the failure was administrative or a minor rectifiable item cleared promptly rather than a serious mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT trail, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points common to Vivaro chassis and sills of this age. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite no tester advisories. The absence of recorded defects over five tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT passes do not certify component life remaining. Verify service history and confirm the 2024 failure cause with the issuing garage. Low annual mileage can mask perished rubber and standing-water rust. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains prudent before completion.
