2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · LM66 BJV

This Vauxhall Vivaro has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five annual tests, with the most recent inspection on 19 November 2025 at 65,412 miles confirming no defects. The absence of advisories or failings across all tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would warrant concern. However, the 2025 test being just six months old means some components—particularly those subject to wear like tyres, brake linings, and suspension bushes—will require verification against current mileage and usage patterns. The mileage progression indicates a steady accumulation of approximately 6,500 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in the record; each test falls within the standard 12-month window, and the mileage increments are consistent. This pattern implies regular driving rather than prolonged neglect or excessive wear from high mileage. The lack of advisories or partial failures also reinforces that no critical components have been overlooked between services. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items, particularly the suspension system—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, though not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns must be examined, as the absence of MOT advisories could mask uneven wear from alignment issues or underinflation. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as this is a common failure point in vans of this era. No advisories in the record do not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
