2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Crew Van 1.6 CDTi from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Good van for work / leisure

Faults:

Oil pump.

Sliding side door a bit reluctant to close.

General Comments:

Comfortable and spacious, I got a good deal on this van. 2017 model still feels very fresh.

Had a lot of miles but has been looked after, rear interior space wood-lined and up front looks hardly used. Seats are in great condition.

Economical for its size but not very fast, but once you get on the motorway it is fine, it is an OK van to drive.

This Vivaro has soo much space and is in such good condition I am thinking about converting it to a motor-home! Be careful when buying these vans at high mileage however - only buy well looked after vehicles, lots out there on the used market that have led hard lives and are very rough.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

2003 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9 DTi turbo diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Brilliant

Faults:

Bought the van. Within a few thousand miles, it needed a new gearbox; cost a grand.

Apart from that, it's been great.

Tip for all of you; make sure your gearbox oil is full; I purposely over fill mine, it works great, nice and smooth gear change.

General Comments:

Wonderful van, great to drive.

Nice and smooth.

The gearboxes Vauxhall used at this time were terrible, we had similar vans and they all failed at less than 100K miles. Needing reconditioning with mileage as low as 50K was common. Even the clutch could outlast a gearbox!

Engine, bodywork and electric components were all solid however.
