2011 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · WR60 NKT

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a successful test on 20 March 2026 at 178,229 miles. While the overall trend appears stable, the recent history indicates a period of instability. The van failed its inspection in late February 2026 at 178,219 miles, only to pass the re-test a month later. This suggests a specific mechanical or emissions fault was identified and rectified quickly prior to the current certificate date. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical commercial use for a Vivaro of this age, averaging approximately 11,900 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 8,630 miles, while it saw a higher increase of 10,116 miles in the year leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally prevents component seizing but puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system given the high mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific area that caused the February 2026 failure, as the provided record does not specify the nature of that defect. Given the 178,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly on the sills and subframe, is essential. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and test the brakes for binding calipers, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage vans of this era.
