With the carpet now rolled out for the all new Vivaro, cunning buyers could be in for a bargain as Vauxhall rush to get rid of old stock. Our Deal of the Week comes from Loads of Vans, with their Vauxhall Vivaro up at just £11,390 plus VAT, a saving of over £8000. 

This generation Vivaro was, and still is, a much respected product balancing practicality with versatility. It’s comfortable, easy to drive and offers good all-round vision and, with it being the 113bhp version, it packs respectable amount of punch too.

It’s the short wheelbase, low roof version, but it can still carry load volumes of up to 5m³. It has a gross vehicle weight of 2700kg, which return a payload of around 1080kg. Under the bonnet is the Renault-Nissan 2 litre diesel unit, which is fairly reliable, but falls well behind the latest generation of vans in terms of efficiency.

Specification

The basic Vivaro spec includes quite a lot as standard, including a radio with CD player and Bluetooth, remote control central locking, ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution), alarm and immobiliser

Aftersales

The Vivaro comes with a fairly limited three year, 100,000 mile warranty. Service intervals are set at 21,000 miles and there are 195 Vivaro dealers nationwide who specialise in the medium vans. The number of Premier Van Centres, where customers benefit from maximising customer mobility and minimising downtime, currently stand at just over 100.
