2017 VAUXHALL VIVARO1.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-06 at 87,770 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-12-16 at 87,622 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential administrative or technical anomaly. The prior tests from 2023 to 2025 show consistent passing with no recorded issues, implying a generally well-maintained vehicle. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the history supports the conclusion that the car remains roadworthy, though the December 2025 failure requires clarification. The mileage progression aligns with an average of ~9,752 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. The tests are spaced approximately one year apart, with minimal gaps between 2025-01-15 (77,675 miles) and 2024-01-16 (71,339 miles), indicating regular maintenance. The 2025-12-16 test occurred just 148 miles before the subsequent 2026-02-06 test, raising questions about the timing but not the vehicle’s condition. The clean record of passing tests, aside from the unexplained failure, suggests no significant deterioration in mechanical or structural integrity. A buyer should verify the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, even though no issues were flagged. Corrosion in body panels and the exhaust system, common in older vans, warrants scrutiny. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the December 2025 failure—despite no defects—highlights the importance of a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s current state and address any unresolved concerns.
