2017 VAUXHALL VIVARO1.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-07-31 at 167,222 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, this test predates the current date of 2026-07-17 by over 12 months, indicating the vehicle has not been retested since. No subsequent MOT records are available, which raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. The absence of defects in the last three consecutive tests (2024-08-08, 2023-09-21, and 2022-09-19) suggests a stable maintenance trend, but the lack of updated data means its compliance status is uncertain. The vehicle’s mileage of 167,222 miles, accumulated over nine years, equates to an average of 18,580 miles annually—a high figure for its age. This rate implies significant wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, as well as increased stress on the drivetrain and suspension. Notably, the 2023-09-19 test failed but recorded no defects, an inconsistency that may reflect administrative error or unrecorded issues. The sparse data between 2022 and 2025, with no advisories or failures, suggests minimal mechanical intervention, though high mileage inherently increases the risk of hidden degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in vehicles with extensive use. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked, as prolonged high-mileage operation can accelerate rust or fatigue. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of recent testing and the vehicle’s age necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical soundness.
