2012 Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0L Diesel · YC62 AEJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-24 at 149,130 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2025-06-23 at 149,129 miles showed a failure with no recorded defects, suggesting potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved minor issues. The absence of specific mechanical faults in the pass record is positive, but the repeated failures without recorded defects raise questions about the reliability of the MOT data for this vehicle. The mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 117,162 miles in 2023, rising to 137,224 miles by 2024, and reaching 149,130 miles in 2025. This reflects an average annual usage of approximately 10,652 miles, aligning with typical patterns for a 14-year-old vehicle. Notably, the jump from 137,224 to 149,130 miles occurred within 12 months, which may indicate increased usage or potential lapses in maintenance. The lack of significant mileage gaps suggests consistent operation, though the high annual rate could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common failure points in older vans. The absence of recorded brake-related defects is reassuring, but binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear could still exist. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or panel damage may not appear in MOT records. Given the recent failed tests without defects, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to identify any latent issues not captured in the MOT history.
