Vauxhall Vivaro MOT reliability

We do not show MOT figures for the Vauxhall Vivaro. 96% of those on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s MOT results do not separate car and van tests of the same model, so the figures would not describe the car. How we work out MOT figures.

Vauxhall Vivaro registrations over time

Registrations of Vauxhall Vivaros for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 1,632 in 2023. In 2025, 340 were registered.

Vauxhall Vivaro fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Vauxhall Vivaro from 2007, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2024 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its diesel versions ranges from 35.3 to 40.9 mpg, with CO2 of 181 to 208 g/km; electric versions have an official range of 122 to 230 miles. On the older NEDC test (listings 2007 to 2010), official combined fuel economy for its diesel versions ranges from 33.6 to 38.2 mpg, with CO2 of 194 to 224 g/km.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
  • Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
  • VCA’s data has no Vauxhall versions for 2019 to 2023, so the years listed may leave out years the Vauxhall Vivaro was on sale.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Vivaro Life”, “VIVARO LIFE”, “Vivaro Model Year 2009”, “Vivaro MY2009”. How we use VCA’s figures.

All 48 Vauxhall Vivaro recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

96% of the Vauxhall Vivaros on the DVLA record are vans. DVSA’s recalls cover every body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Vauxhall Vivaro. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
