2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · MK68 AAV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-23 at 112,441 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 also showed no critical issues, though the 2023 record includes a conflicting entry noting a failure on the same date as a pass. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the absence of recurring mechanical faults suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep. The car’s roadworthiness appears intact, though the lack of a valid MOT as of 2026-07-14 raises immediate compliance concerns. The vehicle accumulates 14,055 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age, which accelerates wear on consumables and structural components. Mileage jumps from 82,326 miles (2022-09-29) to 94,075 miles (2023-09-27) suggest a 11,749-mile increase in 12 months, followed by 8,796 miles to 103,271 by 2024-09-27. These figures align with high annual usage, increasing the risk of fatigue in suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust systems. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in MOT records is positive, but high mileage necessitates closer scrutiny of brake discs, steering linkages, and engine mounts. A physical inspection should focus on brake system integrity, as high mileage often leads to uneven disc wear or caliper binding. Suspension components, including shock absorbers and track rods, may show signs of fatigue despite no recorded defects. The lack of exhaust emission advisories is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age and usage pattern warrant checking for hidden rust in underbody panels. Buyers should also verify the validity of the 2025 MOT certificate, as its expiration date would impact road legality.
