2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DV16 AHN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent pass on 8 December 2025 at 107,728 miles. While the latest test recorded minor cosmetic issues involving slight damage to the offside rear bumper and the offside obligatory mirror, these do not impact the mechanical integrity of the van. The maintenance trend shows a transition from addressing significant suspension and braking faults in late 2024 to a clean pass in the most recent inspection, suggesting that previous mechanical defects were rectified. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 50,669 miles in June 2019 to the current 107,728 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, which indicates the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The progression from 74,182 miles in October 2022 to 96,740 miles in December 2024 shows a typical usage pattern for a Vauxhall Vivaro. A prospective buyer should focus on the front suspension assembly during a physical inspection. The December 2024 test at 96,740 miles flagged both front suspension arm ball joints as excessively worn and noted worn bushes on both front shock absorber top mounts. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, these components are subject to heavy wear on light commercial vehicles. Checking for any residual knocks, vibrations, or uneven tyre wear will confirm if the repairs were comprehensive. The braking system also requires scrutiny. The 2024 failure noted thin front brake pads, and while the 2025 test was clear, the wear pattern on the tyres noted in the October 2021 test at 63,756 miles suggests that consumable management has been intermittent. A thorough check of the brake discs and pads, alongside an inspection of the suspension bushes and ball joints, is advisable to ensure the vehicle remains within its service life.
