Buying Tips for the Vauxhall Viva

  • Check the clutch pedal feel; it should be light. A heavy or biting-high clutch indicates it has been ridden hard around town
  • Look at the front tyres for excessive inner wear, as the tracking is easily knocked out by potholes
  • Test the "City" steering button, which makes the power steering ultra-light for parking
