Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those needing a functional van, provided the high mileage is accounted for. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pass rate without recorded defects.
Given the mileage of 138,230, your primary focus should be on the mechanical service history rather than just the MOT record. While the MOTs have passed without defects, an MOT is not a full mechanical inspection. You should request evidence of recent cambelt/timing chain changes and clutch inspections, as these are critical maintenance items for diesel engines at this mileage.
When negotiating, use the high mileage as a lever, but also check for signs of heavy load usage. Look for uneven tyre wear or suspension sagging, which can indicate the van has been used to its maximum payload capacity frequently. Ensure the turbocharger and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) have been maintained, especially if the vehicle has been used for short urban trips.
As a 2.0L (approximate) CDTI diesel, running costs will be dictated by annual mileage and load. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a medium-sized van, though this will decrease significantly if the vehicle is heavily laden.
Tax and insurance groups for the Vivaro vary depending on the specific engine output and driver profile, but you should budget for commercial vehicle insurance rates. Maintenance costs may increase as the vehicle enters a higher mileage bracket, with more frequent requirements for suspension components, brakes, and exhaust system checks.
Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects, there are no specific recurring failures to warn of for this particular registration. However, you should perform a thorough inspection of the underside for corrosion, which is common in commercial vehicles used in UK climates.
Pay close attention to the suspension, steering linkages, and brake components. Even without MOT failures, at 138,230 miles, components like shock absorbers and bushings are likely nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, check the service intervals for the diesel engine to ensure the oil and filters have been changed regularly to prevent turbocharger issues.
This 2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 LE Nav CDTI is a high-mileage diesel workhorse, having covered 138,230 miles since its first registration in July 2018. The MOT history is notable for having no recorded defects or failures across its four recorded tests, spanning from 79,776 to 138,230 miles. While the mileage is significant for an eight-year-old vehicle, the lack of recent MOT failures suggests a consistent standard of compliance.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Vauxhall Vivaro variant to provide a statistical comparison.
