2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · AE65 AFU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 April 2025 at 39,542 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent string of passes across the last three years suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard and avoided the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural corrosion. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 21,572 miles and April 2024 at 29,169 miles, the vehicle covered 7,597 miles, which represents a slight spike in usage compared to the 10,373 mile interval recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, long periods of standing or very low-intensity use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should focus on physical signs of age associated with low-mileage vehicles. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion which can occur when a vehicle is not used frequently. Check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking dry rot, as these materials perish over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, examine the chassis for early-stage rust to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the clean MOT history suggests.
