2017 VAUXHALL VIVARO1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-17 confirming no defects at 150,068 miles. However, the prior test on 2026-02-16 recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in earlier tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the high mileage of 150,068 miles (16,674 annually) raises concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. The mileage progression shows a sharp increase from 130,142 miles in 2025 to 150,068 in 2026, reflecting 19,926 miles added in 12 months—a rate exceeding typical usage. Earlier records reveal steady growth, with 114,763 miles in 2022 and 121,960 in 2023, but the 2025-2026 jump suggests possible heavy usage or inconsistent maintenance. The lack of defects in all tests, despite this, implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though high mileage inherently increases the risk of hidden wear in critical systems. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, check brake discs for uneven wear, and assess exhaust emissions for anomalies. Structural corrosion, particularly in underbody areas, warrants scrutiny given the high mileage. While no faults were recorded, the rapid mileage accumulation and recent failed MOT (without defect details) justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity and address any potential issues overlooked in the MOT history.
