First, check the battery and its connections to make sure they are not loose or damaged. If that is not the issue, then it is likely a fault with the starter. You can try tapping the starter with a hammer while someone else turns the ignition to see if that helps it start. If not, it is best to take your Vivaro to a mechanic for further diagnosis and potential replacement.

Make sure to check the condition of your starter regularly, as it can wear out over time. Also, avoid jump starting your Vauxhall Vivaro as it can put extra strain on the starter. If you suspect a faulty starter, it is best to have it checked by a professional mechanic to avoid causing further damage.

I had a similar issue with my Vauxhall Vivaro and it turned out to be a faulty ignition switch. It's worth checking this as well if your starter doesn't seem to be the problem.
