2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DT17 AAZ

The 2017 Vauxhall Viva presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-23 at 102,252 miles recording a pass and no defects. This follows a pattern of prior passes and fails at similar mileages, though no specific mechanical issues were documented in the records. The absence of defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, but the recurring fails without recorded faults indicate potential administrative inconsistencies or minor issues that may not have been classified as critical. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of 11,361 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records lack detailed gaps, but the same-day pass and fail in 2024-06-27 and 2023-06-26 raise questions about testing accuracy or unresolved minor faults. The 2023-07-10 pass at 97,034 miles and subsequent 2024-06-27 fail at the same mileage suggest possible intermittent issues, though no structural or mechanical risks were flagged. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the age, and inspect brake discs and calipers for wear, as these are common failure points in older vans. The exhaust system and corrosion in body panels should also be checked, as they are vulnerable to environmental factors. While the MOT history lacks specific defects, the pattern of repeated fails without recorded issues warrants closer scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history and physical condition.
