2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 2900 Sportive Cdti 1.6L Diesel · KR12 SEC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-09-15 at 131,409 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. A prior test on 2025-09-13 at 131,338 miles also showed no defects, though it failed. This inconsistency suggests either a procedural error or a minor non-compliance that was rectified. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the rapid succession of tests with minimal mileage gain (just 71 miles between assessments) raises questions about the accuracy of the recorded data or the vehicle’s operational history. The vehicle’s mileage of 131,409 miles over 10 years equates to an average of 13,141 miles annually, which is significantly higher than typical usage. This rate implies frequent use, increasing wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, as well as potential stress on the drivetrain and suspension. However, the MOT records provide limited insight due to the sparse data—only two tests in the past decade. The lack of historical entries makes it difficult to assess long-term maintenance trends, though the recent pass suggests no immediate critical failures. A physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear points. Suspension bushes and coil springs may show premature fatigue from sustained use, while brake discs and calipers could exhibit uneven wear or binding. Structural corrosion, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure, warrants scrutiny. The failed MOT without recorded defects also highlights the need to verify if any unresolved issues were overlooked, such as minor emission faults or non-structural panel damage. Buyers should prioritise a detailed check of these systems to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT records.
