Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Edition S/s (2019)
2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Edition S/s
CarHunch analysed 1,034 real MOT records for the 2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Edition S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Edition matches the UK average pass rate at 79.8%, but a quarter of these vans have recorded a dangerous defect during their MOT history — that's a genuine concern for a commercial vehicle where reliability directly affects your livelihood. Petrol and diesel splits aren't relevant here since this is a diesel-only model.
At roughly 51,500 miles median for a five-year-old van, these are working vehicles, and the 1.05 average failures per test suggests they're holding up reasonably well for their mileage profile. The 4.3 advisories per vehicle is moderate, but before buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on brake condition and suspension wear — the kinds of issues that stack up on a van doing proper miles.
