2018 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · CP18 AEA

The vehicle has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record across all six MOT tests since registration, with the most recent assessment on 2026-05-05 at 13,198 miles passing without defects. The trend is stable rather than worsening, as the only advisories appeared in the 2022 and 2024 tests and were resolved before the next inspection. A clean pass at 11,255 miles in April 2025 confirms no emerging mechanical faults have developed during the intervening year. The recorded mileage of 13,198 miles over eight years indicates a usage pattern of roughly 1,650 miles annually. This is well below the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting lighter use or extended periods standing. The mileage progression is linear and predictable, with no sudden jumps or gaps that would imply unrecorded private sales or high-speed delivery runs. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber degradation and corrosion rather than mechanical fatigue, so the buyer should inspect the boot lid, door cards, and suspension bushes for cracking or dry rot. The recurring faults are limited to consumable items: a defective nearside front wiper blade flagged in 2024 and 2022, and a damaged sidewall alongside a nail in the offside rear tyre in 2022. These findings point to basic upkeep rather than structural risk, as no suspension, brake, or exhaust issues were ever recorded. A buyer should verify the condition of the offside rear tyre, given the puncture history, and check the wiper blade mechanism for stiffness or frozen movement. The absence of binding calipers or corrosion advisories suggests the underlying chassis and braking systems remain in acceptable condition for a vehicle of this age.
