Our Verdict
This 2016 Vauxhall Viva in distinctive purple is a sensible used buy with a largely clean MOT record. The only blemish is a 2024 failure with no defects recorded, which suggests an administrative or minor non-mechanical issue rather than a serious fault.
Given the 2024 MOT failure with no defects recorded, ask the seller for clarification on why it failed — it may have been a documentation error, a missed item on the day, or a retest scenario, and the paperwork should confirm. Check for a full service history to support the low recorded mileage, as the 1.0-litre petrol engine benefits from regular oil changes and minor maintenance. As no aggregate reliability data exists for the Vauxhall Viva, rely on this car's own history and a independent inspection rather than model averages.
The 999cc petrol engine in this Viva is among the smallest on UK roads, so fuel economy should be strong, typically 50-60 mpg in mixed driving, keeping weekly fuel spend low. Road tax for a 2016 sub-1.0-litre petrol is usually in the lower bands, and insurance groups for the Viva are modest, making it cheap to cover. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £800-£1,000, though this assumes average annual mileage well above the car's recent ~1,500-mile yearly use.
The MOT history shows no recorded defects across passes and the single failure, so there are no specific failure types to target — but still inspect brakes, tyres and suspension visually as these are standard wear items not always flagged on a clean test. Confirm the purple paintwork and body panels for rust or damage, as the car's age means minor corrosion could start on sills or wheel arches despite no MOT advisories. Verify the odometer against service stamps given the low 22,741-mile total for a 2016 car, and ensure the 2024 failure with no defects is explained by the seller's documents.
The vehicle shows a steady and low mileage progression from 17,474 miles in 2022 to 22,741 miles in 2025, indicating light use for a nine-year-old car. Four of the five recent MOT tests passed with no defects recorded, and the most recent 2025 test at 22,741 miles was also clean. The 2024 failure is notable but listed with no defects, so it does not point to a known mechanical weakness. Without aggregate model data, we cannot benchmark reliability, but this individual example's history is reassuring.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Vauxhall Viva, so reliability cannot be benchmarked against the model as a whole from the provided information.
