If you're encountering issues with your Vauxhall Vivaro engine from the models spanning 2001 to 2014, you're likely seeking either a solution or an alternative. As a mechanic with over a decade and a half of experience, I've dealt extensively with these engines and can offer both insight and options.
The Vauxhall Vivaro (2001 to 2014) engine, while generally reliable, could present some challenges, particularly as it ages. Symptoms like loss of power, unusual noises, and excessive exhaust emissions are common and often trace back to a few root causes such as turbocharger failures, EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) complications, or even timing chain issues. Such symptoms not only degrade performance but can lead to significant stress and costly repairs.
The source of the issue often ties into regular wear and tear but can be exacerbated by factors such as poor maintenance or high mileage. Addressing these problems usually starts with a thorough diagnosis to isolate the issue, followed by precision work ranging from part replacement to a complete engine overhaul—tasks that demand both time and technical expertise.
Given the age of the Vauxhall Vivaro (2001 to 2014) and the typical cost and effort required in repair, you might wonder if it's simply time to move on. This is where Vandervan can serve you.

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.

By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.

We buy any van make or model, and any body type. Get a valuation today and see if we can help you sell your van.
Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
