The 2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 2700 Sportive S/S passes its MOT on the first attempt 79.3% of the time—essentially level with the UK average of 80%—but the dangerous defect rate of 27.4% is a genuine concern, suggesting nearly one in four have shown serious safety issues at some point. That's well above the norm and worth factoring into your purchase decision.
