2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DV16 AET

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record in its most recent inspection. The September 2025 test at 118,742 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the record shows two failures in 2023 and 2025, these occurred at the exact same mileage as the subsequent passes, suggesting they were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately during the same visit rather than systemic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year service life for a commercial vehicle. The data shows a steady progression from 103,019 miles in September 2023 to 111,606 miles in September 2024, and finally reaching 118,742 miles by September 2025. This averages approximately 7,500 to 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with the expected usage for a Vauxhall Vivaro of this age. The continuity of the testing schedule indicates regular inspections and consistent upkeep. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion, the vehicle appears well-maintained from a regulatory standpoint. However, given the current mileage of 118,742, a physical inspection should focus on wear items that MOT testers often overlook. You should specifically examine the condition of the underside for structural rust and check the service history for recent replacements of timing belts or water pumps, which are critical maintenance items at this stage of the vehicle's life. The lack of recorded defects regarding emissions or braking performance is a positive indicator. You should verify that the brake discs and pads show even wear and that there is no evidence of binding calipers. Given the commercial nature of this vehicle, checking the integrity of the suspension components and the condition of the underbody shielding is also recommended to ensure no heavy-load damage has occurred that was not captured during the standard MOT inspection.
