About the Vauxhall Vivaro and its keys
Earlier Vivaros were closely related to the Renault Trafic, while newer ones share their base with Peugeot and Citroën vans. That change affects the key type, so we always check the year and registration.
Lost Vauxhall Vivaro keys
For a Vivaro with no working key, we will need the registration, year and location. We will confirm whether a replacement is possible for that van before attending.
Spare Vivaro keys
Vivaros are often run by small teams. A spare key, made while one still works, keeps the van available whoever needs it.
Vivaro remote keys and programming
Vivaro remotes changed between generations, so the year is important. Describe what your fob does and does not do, and we will confirm whether a new programmed remote is possible. See van key programming.
Lockouts and damaged Vivaro keys
If the Vivaro is locked with the key inside, or the key is damaged, send the registration and a short description so we can advise. See keys locked in a van.
Vivaro ignition problems
On turn-key Vivaros, a stiff key or one that will not turn generally points to the key blade or the mechanical barrel. If the key turns but the van will not start or electrics cut out, the electrical ignition switch is one possibility among battery and wiring faults. We diagnose first and repair or replace only what is needed. See Vauxhall van ignition replacement.
Where we attend
We come to Vivaros on driveways, streets and at workplaces around Eastleigh, where the vehicle and job are suitable for mobile work. See all areas covered.
What we need for a quote
- Registration and year of your Vivaro
- Where the van is located
- The type of key you have (or had)
- Whether a working key remains
We confirm compatibility for your specific van before arranging a visit — not every year or variant is suitable.

Vauxhall Vivaro key questions
Does an older Vivaro use the same key as a newer one?
No. Vivaro generations have been built on different platforms, so the key type depends on the year.
Can you program a replacement Vivaro remote?
For many Vivaros, yes, subject to compatibility. Send the registration and year.
