2018 VAUXHALL VIVARO1.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-27 at 96,938 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-01-26 (89,502 miles) and 2023-01-12 (69,753 miles) also passed without issues, though a failure on 2024-01-05 at 89,468 miles noted no defects. This suggests consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the recorded history. The vehicle’s mileage of 96,938 miles over eight years equates to an average of 12,117 miles annually, which is above the typical range for its age. A significant jump from 50,843 miles in 2022 to 89,502 miles in 2024 highlights accelerated usage, potentially increasing wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and the drivetrain. The brief gap between the 2024-01-05 failure and subsequent pass at 89,502 miles suggests minor, unresolved issues that did not trigger defects, though this pattern warrants scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, given the high mileage, and check brake components for uneven disc wear or caliper binding. The exhaust system’s corrosion resistance should also be verified, as emissions compliance may degrade with age. While no structural rust or critical faults were recorded, the vehicle’s usage history implies a need for thorough checks on high-mileage wear items to confirm continued safety and reliability.
