Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2003 Vauxhall Vivaro passed its most recent MOT on 9 February 2023 at 102,698 miles, though it had failed the test just eight days earlier on 1 February 2023 at 102,695 miles due to an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, a fault that was rectified to secure the pass. The maintenance trend is stagnant rather than improving: longstanding mechanical and corrosion faults flagged across multiple tests remain unaddressed, with no new serious failures introduced but no evidence of proactive upkeep to resolve recurring issues either. As of 2026, the vehicle is approximately 23 years old, with its recorded mileage averaging roughly 4,465 miles per year, well below the average annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable five-year gap between the February 2021 MOT records and the January 2022 test, with only 233 miles recorded between the two February 2021 tests, suggesting the vehicle was likely laid up for extended periods rather than used regularly, which aligns with its low annual average. The 3,745 miles accumulated between the January 2022 and February 2023 tests indicate slightly more consistent use in that window, but the sparse historical record makes it impossible to confirm regular, thorough maintenance across the vehicle’s full lifespan. A prospective buyer should prioritise a detailed in-person inspection of the front suspension and braking system, as these components have been flagged with recurring faults across every MOT since 2021. Front suspension arm bushes and pins, front sub-frame mounting bushes, and front anti-roll bar linkage bushes have all been.
