2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DV16 AEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 46,870 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of failing the initial test due to minor defects before passing on the same day. This occurred in September 2025 with a faulty nearside front seat belt buckle and again in September 2024 regarding a worn anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 4,687 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, growing from 12,763 miles in June 2019 to 46,870 miles by September 2025. Such low usage often suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to specific degradation issues regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer should specifically investigate the engine for oil leaks. The tester flagged an oil leak in June 2019, June 2021, and September 2023. While these were noted as not excessive, the recurrence over four years indicates a persistent seepage that has not been permanently rectified. The suspension also warrants a close look, as the June 2021 test identified a misting nearside front shock absorber. Brake and tyre health should be verified during a physical inspection. The September 2022 test highlighted perishing rear tyres and thin brake pads, while the June 2021 test noted pitted or scored front brake discs. Given the low mileage, these issues likely stemmed from age and corrosion rather than wear and tear. Confirm that these consumables were replaced and that no new corrosion has developed on the brake discs or suspension components.
