2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · Y11 GBB

The way history for this 2016 Vauxhall Vivaro shows a consistent pattern of testing with intermittent failures. In the most recent test on 28 August 2024 at 70,942 miles, the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, suggesting that issues identified in the previous year were addressed. However, the failure just one week prior on 21 August 2024 at 70,941 miles indicates a significant mechanical or safety failure that was rectified immediately before the passing test. This timeline suggests the vehicle may have reactive maintenance performed specifically to meet legal requirements. The vehicle has covered 70,942 miles over approximately ten years, averaging roughly 7,100 miles per annum. This is below the average for a commercial vehicle of this age, which often implies lower wear on the engine, clutch, and suspension components. The mileage progression is steady, with a 4,325-mile interval between August 2022 and August 2023, and another 4,020 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. This consistent usage suggests regular operation, which is generally beneficial for preventing seal dryness and brake corrosion in older vans. The failure recorded on 8 August 2022 at 62,035 miles and the subsequent failure in August 2024 require closer scrutiny during a physical inspection. Since the specific reasons for these failures are not detailed in the summary, a buyer should verify the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushes, which are common weak points on the Vivaro. The transition from a failure to a clean pass in the late 2024 test indicates the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, but the recurring failures in the last two years$_ a need for diligent monitoring of the braking system and exhaust components.
