2016 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · WG66 AEM

The vehicle currently fails the MOT, as the most recent test on 2026-01-09 was a failure with 47,145 miles, indicating a severe mechanical condition that has not been corrected since. This is the first time the vehicle has been tested since 2025, when it passed, suggesting that the current state of the car has deteriorated significantly since the last inspection. The mileage data reveals a clear pattern of rapid accumulation, with the vehicle moving forward by roughly 9.5 miles per year. This rate of increase is exceptionally fast for a vehicle of this age, implying that the owner has not maintained the car at a normal pace. The gaps in the MOT history are particularly concerning, as the vehicle passed in 2024 and 2023 without any recorded defects, which contradicts the severity of the current failure. A buyer must inspect the car for corrosion and structural integrity, as the MOT flagged extensive damage to the front exhaust, rear tyres, and nearside anti-roll bar linkage. The persistent failure of the anti-roll bar suggests that the suspension bushings may be worn to the point where the linkage cannot grip properly, posing a risk of the vehicle becoming a liability if it were to be driven again.
