2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DT17 AAK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-30 at 84,598 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-23 at 84,573 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor issue resolved before the retest. The pattern of passing and failing without recorded faults in consecutive tests raises questions about the consistency of the MOT process. No significant mechanical or structural issues were flagged in the history, but the lack of detailed defect records limits definitive conclusions about underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 84,598 miles over nine years aligns closely with the average of 9,400 miles per year, indicating typical usage. However, the gap between the 2025-01-23 test (81,635 miles) and 2026-01-30 test (84,598 miles) shows a gain of just 2,963 miles over 12 months, below the average. This could imply reduced activity or periods of inactivity, potentially affecting components like the battery, brakes, or suspension. The 2024-01-26 test at 77,761 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the sparse data between 2024 and 2025 lacks detail on intermediate maintenance or issues. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and potential for wear. The absence of recorded brake or exhaust defects does not preclude checking for corrosion, binding calipers, or uneven brake disc wear. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or damage is not addressed in the MOT records. While the vehicle appears mechanically sound based on the tests, the lack of detailed defect reporting necessitates a physical examination to confirm its condition.
