Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize a thorough check of the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with the brake pedal wearing smooth (noted in 2024 and 2025) and thin brake pads (noted in 2023). You should request evidence of recent brake servicing or component replacement to ensure these are no longer issues.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen and registration plates. This vehicle has had windscreen damage noted in four consecutive MOT tests (2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025). Negotiate on the price if the windscreen has not been replaced, as repeated stone chips can eventually lead to an MOT failure. Finally, inspect the suspension components, specifically the track rod ends, following the advisory for play in the nearside front ball joint in 2024.
As a 2.0L diesel van, running costs will be heavily influenced by your annual mileage and load capacity. Fuel economy for this model typically sits in the mid-range for commercial vehicles of this era, but heavy loads or urban driving will increase consumption.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2012 Vivaro vary depending on the specific payload and engine tuning, but buyers should expect moderate insurance premiums. Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the wear-and-tear items identified in the MOT history, such as brakes, tyres, and suspension components.
Focus heavily on the braking system. The MOT history explicitly mentions the brake pedal wearing smooth in 2024 and 2025, as well as thin inner brake pads in 2023. Ensure the pedal feel is firm and that there is no excessive travel.
Check the front suspension and steering. The 2024 MOT recorded slight play in the nearside front outer track rod end ball joint. Test the steering for any looseness or 'play' when stationary. Also, examine the windscreen for the recurring damage noted in previous years, as this is a persistent issue for this specific vehicle.
This 1.995cc diesel Vivaro has covered 140,685 miles since its first registration in December 2012. The MOT history shows a consistent trend of advisories, particularly concerning the windscreen, registration plates, and braking system. While it has avoided outright failures in the last five years, the frequency of wear-related advisories is notable.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Vivaro to provide a comparative benchmark.
