2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · VN68 AAY

The Vauxhall Vivaro remains roadworthy as of the most recent test on 16 September 2025, which passed at 80,088 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three-year MOT span, though on both 16 September 2025 and 17 September 2024 the van first failed with no defects logged before a same-day pass at marginally higher mileage, pointing to procedural rather than mechanical issues. In September 2023 the tester recorded 62,471 miles on a clean pass. Twelve months later the odometer read 73,857 miles at the failed attempt and 73,859 at the pass, a yearly gain of about 11,400 miles. By September 2025 the figure reached 80,088, adding only 6,200 miles over the final year. This trajectory sits near the typical 10,000 miles per annum for an eight-year-old light commercial, with no suspicious gaps or rapid surges. The sparse, defect-free record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions appear in any entry, so the history reveals no recurring mechanical faults. A buyer should still scrutinise structural integrity beneath the body, particularly chassis legs and door frames, for rust that a visual test might miss. Check binding calipers and tyre condition manually, and confirm the twin fail-pass anomalies were administrative by reviewing the V5C and prior paperwork. Given the clean slate, a routine independent inspection will suffice to confirm roadworthiness.
