Experiencing issues with your Vauxhall Vivaro not starting can be frustrating. As a UK-based master technician with over 15 years of expertise, I've dealt with numerous cases where Vauxhall Vivaro models from 2014 to 2019 fail to ignite. Let's explore some common causes, symptoms, and processes to rectify this issue.
One of the first signs of trouble is when your van simply refuses to start. The root of the problem could range from simple issues to more complex electrical faults. Common causes include:
- **Battery problems**: A dead battery is the most frequent culprit. Signs include dim lighting and a slow cranking sound. - **Starter motor failure**: If you hear a clicking noise but the engine does not turn over, the starter motor might be defective. - **Fuel supply issues**: Anything from clogged fuel filters to problems in the fuel pump can leave your van unresponsive. - **Ignition system faults**: Failed spark plugs or corroded ignition wires can prevent the engine from starting.Each of these issues exhibits unique symptoms, which often necessitate a complete diagnostic test to pinpoint exact problems.
Repair processes vary widely based on the underlying cause:
- **Battery replacement**: If the battery is at fault, replacing it is usually straightforward but can be costly if recurring. - **Electrical repairs**: Starter and ignition issues often require professional intervention, including part replacements and electrical system checks. - **Fuel system maintenance**: Addressing fuel issues might involve cleaning or replacing filters, pumps, or injectors.While these repairs can sometimes be relatively simple, they often involve considerable time and expense, particularly if diagnosing the problem requires advanced tools and extensive labor.
If your Vauxhall Vivaro frequently experiences issues, it might be more cost-effective to consider selling it. This is particularly true if the van is nearing the end of its reliable service life or if repair costs are beginning to add up. Selling your troubled Vauxhall Vivaro and opting for a newer model can often save you time and reduce stress, ensuring you have a reliable vehicle for your needs.

By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.

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.
