2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FY68 ADX

The 2018 Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2026-02-02 at 72,896 miles passed with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across its documented history. Annual mileage averages around 9,112 miles, typical for an eight-year-old light commercial vehicle. The records show consistent yearly use: 24,558 miles in November 2021, 42,968 by December 2022, 49,474 in January 2024, 61,837 in February 2025, and 72,896 in February 2026. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear; the 11,410-mile jump between the 2021 and 2022 tests is the largest yet remains within normal bounds. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing a clear pass and no consumable or structural issues raised. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The Vivaro's suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for latent wear not captured in a pass result. Structural corrosion around sills and chassis mounts should be examined, as MOT passes at lower mileages do not preclude later rust ingress. Previous owners maintained the van to a standard that cleared every test without advisories, implying disciplined servicing rather than deferred upkeep. Given the clean history, pre-purchase attention should focus on confirming genuine mileage continuity and assessing tyre condition, which the tester did not flag but degrades with standing time.
