2017 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · FG67 AEK

The 2017 Vauxhall Viva demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, passing its recent MOT tests without any recorded defects. The most recent examination on 18 March 2026 at 39,047 miles resulted in a clean pass. A failed test is also logged for that exact date and mileage, though no defects were recorded against it. This anomaly points toward an administrative error or an aborted test rather than a mechanical failure, especially given the clean pass recorded on the same day. The recorded mileage sits at 39,047 miles, averaging roughly 4,339 miles annually over its nine-year lifespan, which is notably low. The annual MOT readings reveal a steady accumulation rather than prolonged standing. The odometer climbed from 12,865 miles in March 2023 to 21,849 miles in March 2024, then 30,623 miles in March 2025, and finally 39,047 miles in March 2026. This equates to an average of approximately 8,700 miles per year across the last three years, indicating the vehicle has seen consistent, albeit gentle, use recently. Despite the clean MOT record, a low-mileage vehicle of this age requires a thorough physical inspection to verify the condition of perishable components. Buyers should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber may have hardened long before the tread wears out. Brake discs and calipers demand attention; infrequent use often leads to surface corrosion on the discs and binding calipers. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should be checked for perishing, while the underbody requires inspection for structural corrosion that can occur when a car sits for extended periods.
