2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FX17 AKG

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a current pass certificate dated 7 April 2026 at 161,401 miles, confirming roadworthy status at that point. Maintenance trend appears stable, with the most recent test showing no defects after a brief fail on 1 April 2026 at 161,332 miles where the tester also logged no faults. Prior years reflect a similar pattern: passes in April 2025 at 149,279 miles and April 2024 at 137,075 miles bracketed by a same-day fail on 26 April 2024 at 137,072 miles with no defects recorded. The record suggests mechanical condition has not deteriorated across the observed nine-year span. Mileage stands at 161,401 on a 2017 plate, equating to roughly 17,900 miles per year and marking this van as high-use for its class. The odometer advanced 12,122 miles between the April 2024 test and April 2025, then 12,122 again to April 2026, showing linear annual accumulation with no dormant gaps. Sparse defect data across all entries indicates previous keepers maintained basic test compliance, though the twin failures with zero listed defects hint at poor test preparation rather than skipped consumable upkeep. No advisories or defects appear in the DVSA history, so the buyer cannot rely on flagged warnings for suspension, brakes or corrosion. The high mileage demands a physical inspection of front suspension bushes, rear coil springs and brake discs for wear or binding calipers. A buyer should examine structural integrity around sills and chassis for corrosion typical of vans used in winter salting. Exhaust emissions passed each time, yet a used Vivaro at this age may hide tired turbo seals or diesel particulate issues not captured in the bare test sheet. Verify service records and confirm the reason for the two no-defect fails before purchase.
