2016 VAUXHALL VIVARO1.6L Diesel

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 8 December 2025 at 112,339 miles with zero defects recorded. This outcome indicates the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. The preceding tests on 17 December 2024 at 107,891 miles and 2 January 2024 at 101,830 miles also passed without advisories or failures, suggesting consistent upkeep. An anomalous entry appears on 22 December 2023 at 101,830 miles, recording a fail despite no defects listed, though the subsequent retest just days later on 2 January 2024 passed cleanly, indicating any issue was swiftly rectified. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 11,234 miles annually. Between 30 December 2022 at 95,477 miles and 2 January 2024 at 101,830 miles, the van covered 6,353 miles over a thirteen-month period. The subsequent annual tests show a slight reduction in yearly mileage, traveling 6,061 miles between January and December 2024, and 4,448 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This tapering mileage suggests the vehicle may have seen lighter, more localized use recently, or potentially spent periods standing idle. With no recurring mechanical or structural faults documented in the official record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the inherent wear characteristics of a high-mileage commercial van. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration typical of a 112,000-mile workhorse. Check the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, alongside assessing the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion. Structural integrity requires close scrutiny, particularly around the rear wheel arches, sliding door mechanisms, and load floor, where rust or fatigue often manifests on the Vivaro platform despite a clean MOT paper trail.
