Having extensively worked with various models and makes over my fifteen years in automotive repair, the Vauxhall Vivaro has often rolled into my workshop, especially those from the 2001 to 2014 range. A common issue I've encountered with these vehicles is the need for a reconditioned engine, a solution that addresses several underlying problems affecting the performance and reliability of the van.
The Vauxhall Vivaro (2001 to 2014) models may require a reconditioned engine due to a variety of factors, ranging from high mileage wear and tear to inadequate maintenance practices. Common symptoms signaling engine distress in these models include excessive oil consumption, abnormal noises from the engine compartment, reduced fuel efficiency, and a noticeable decrease in performance. Other tell-tale signs include excessive exhaust smoke and engine misfire, which can escalate into more severe complications if not addressed promptly.
The process of reconditioning an engine for the Vauxhall Vivaro involves a thorough overhaul, where the engine is disassembled, cleaned, and examined for worn out parts. Essential components such as pistons, bearings, gaskets, and seals are often replaced. The engine block and cylinder heads may be machined to restore their surface integrity, ensuring they provide a robust base for other components. This process, while effective in restoring the engine’s functionality, can be both time-consuming and costly, depending on the extent of damage and wear.
Considering the cost implications and the amount of time your vehicle will be out of service, you might wonder if it's worth undergoing such a complex repair process. Have you contemplated whether continuing to invest in an older model is economically sensible? This is where selling your Vauxhall Vivaro might be a practical alternative.

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.

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.
