Used Opel Vivaro for sale in Europe

About the Opel Vivaro

The Opel Vivaro is a mid-size panel van sold across Europe since the early 2000s. It suits tradespeople, delivery drivers and small businesses. It also suits buyers who want a base for a camper or a people carrier. Most examples are diesel vans, and many have had a hard working life.

The range includes short and long wheelbases, different roof heights, double-cab crew vans and passenger versions with extra seats. Diesel engines dominate older listings. Newer generations add an electric Vivaro-e and some hybrid and petrol versions, so check the fuel type on each advert.

The Vivaro has had three generations. The first two were developed with Renault and shared a platform with the Renault Trafic. The latest is built on a Stellantis platform shared with the Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy. Parts and servicing differ between generations, so identify the generation before you compare cars.

Generations

• Vivaro A (2001-2014) — The first generation was developed with Renault and Nissan, and it shares its basic design with the Renault Trafic and Nissan Primastar.
• Vivaro B (2014-2019) — The second generation was again engineered with Renault, shares its platform with the Trafic, and uses 1.6-litre diesel engines.
• Vivaro C (2019-present) — The third generation uses a Stellantis platform shared with the Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy, and an electric Vivaro-e is sold alongside the diesels.

What to check when buying a used Opel Vivaro

Ask for the full service history and the previous use of the van. Inspect it in daylight, drive it cold and loaded if you can, and compare the mileage with the wear on the pedals, seat and load area.

• Commercial use wear

  Many Vivaros are ex-fleet. Check the load floor, bulkhead, sliding doors and rear doors for dents, damaged hinges and heavy scuffing. Look at the tyres and brakes for uneven wear, which can point to overloading or neglected maintenance.

• Rust on older vans · Vivaro A (2001-2014)

  Inspect the sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, underbody and any area around previous repairs or fitted racking. Surface rust is common on work vans, but check it has not become structural or hidden under fresh underseal.

• Injectors, turbo and emissions · Diesel engines

  Listen for rough idling, smoke, a whistling turbo or a warning light. On newer diesels, ask about the particulate filter and EGR valve. Short urban trips can clog them, and repairs can be costly. A healthy engine should start easily and pull cleanly.

• Timing belt and servicing · Diesel engines

  Some engines use a belt and others a chain. Ask which one the specific engine has, and check the records for belt changes and oil changes at sensible intervals. A missing record is a reason to negotiate or walk away.

• Gearbox and clutch

  Test every gear on the road. Check that the clutch bites smoothly and the gear change is not notchy. On automatic versions, look for hesitation or jerky shifts, and ask whether the gearbox has been serviced.

• Electronics and driver aids · Vivaro C (2019-present)

  Test the infotainment, cameras, parking sensors, lane and speed assist functions, and check for fault messages. Confirm that the open recalls have been completed by asking the dealer or the importer, since service campaigns differ by country and build date.

• Check the powertrain type · Electric and hybrid versions

  Listings include electric and hybrid models. Confirm the exact version, the battery details if electric, and the charging equipment included. Do not judge these as you would a diesel, because service needs and warning messages are different.
