2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · AE65 AFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-11-26 at 173,664 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend over the past three years has been stable, with consecutive passing results in 2024, 2023, and 2022. However, a failed test on 2023-11-20 at 155,370 miles—recorded on the same date as a subsequent pass—introduces ambiguity. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error or a minor issue resolved before retesting, but it warrants scrutiny. No structural or safety-critical defects were noted in the valid passing tests, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 173,664 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 15,788 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This suggests frequent use, which accelerates wear on consumables and mechanical systems. The MOT intervals align with annual testing, but the 2023-11-20 failed test—occurring just two days after a pass at 155,371 miles—raises questions about the accuracy of the record. The lack of defect details for this entry complicates assessment, though the subsequent pass implies any issues were addressed. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and emission controls should also be evaluated, as prolonged use can degrade these components. While the MOT history shows no major failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues, particularly in the drivetrain and body corrosion.
