Going to look at Vivaro on Tuesday. 2012, 64,000 miles, full Vauxhall service history, seems to be a bit cheap to me but still worth a look I feel.

I gather the injector problem was corrected 2011 onward with the scuttle panel modification, so this one should be clear?

Is there anything else other than standard vehicle checks I need to be looking at?

Van in question...

Neighbour has one, his main concern seems to be the gearbox, a well known issue and not cheap to sort if it gets too bad.

That looks too cheap to me. I have a 62 plate trafic (same van) which I run as my work van, it gets a hard life running well laden down a lot of rural roads and other than it eating brakes for breakfast its been faultless.

I suspected the same. Can't view it till tomorrow morning now. No VAT on top, he's owned it from new. Said it's mechanically perfect and it has aircon which he forgot to put in the ad. I'm just really nervous about potential gearbox implosions!
