2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · BF67 ADU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-27 at 89,377 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2024-06-04 showed a failure at the same mileage (73,236 miles) with no defects listed, suggesting a potential administrative inconsistency or unresolved issue. Subsequent tests in 2023-06-07 also showed a pass and failure at 62,860 and 62,859 miles, respectively, with no defects noted. These results imply a lack of recurring mechanical faults but raise questions about the reliability of the MOT data, particularly the repeated failures without recorded defects. The mileage progression shows an average of 9,931 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle. However, a significant jump from 62,860 miles (2023-06-07) to 73,236 miles (2024-06-04) reflects a 10,376-mile increase in 12 months, followed by a 16,141-mile rise to 89,377 miles by 2025-05-27. This acceleration may indicate increased usage or periods of inactivity, but the absence of wear-related defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle has not suffered critical component degradation. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, including coil springs and bushes, which can deteriorate over time without visible defects. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants inspection for binding or uneven wear, as these issues often go undetected in MOTs. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on corrosion in underbody areas, as rust can compromise safety in older vehicles. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase check, especially given the ambiguous failure entries in the MOT history.
