2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DV16 ABN

The 2016 Vauxhall Viva has demonstrated stable roadworthiness over the past three years, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-17 at 115,984 miles recording no defects. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022, suggesting effective maintenance. The single failed test on 2023-12-08 at 99,110 miles was noted without specific defects, which may indicate a procedural or minor technical issue resolved prior to subsequent passes. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the record, and the vehicle’s mileage of 115,984 miles aligns with average annual usage for its age. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 8,876 miles added between 2022-12-16 (92,230 miles) and 2023-12-08 (99,114 miles), followed by 7,994 miles by 2024-12-16 (107,108 miles), and 8,876 miles to reach 115,984 miles by 2025-12-17. This pattern reflects regular use without significant gaps, reducing concerns about prolonged inactivity or sudden wear. The absence of advisories or defects in the last four tests implies no urgent mechanical risks, though the failed 2023 test at 99,110 miles warrants scrutiny to confirm whether unresolved issues may have impacted later performance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these components often degrade over time. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or wear, as these are common issues in older vans. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor faults. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended to verify the condition of components not assessed in MOT tests, such as the drivetrain and electrical systems.
