2017 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · AF17 OSJ

The overall roadworthiness status is currently passable, but the maintenance trend is deteriorating rather than stable. The most recent test on 2026-03-11 at 75,339 miles passed without defects, establishing a baseline of acceptable condition. However, the record indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical integrity since the 2023-03-14 test, where the vehicle was passed at 49,914 miles. This suggests a loss of mechanical reliability that has not yet manifested as a critical failure, but it represents a clear downward trend in the vehicle's condition. The mileage pattern reveals a substantial gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded driving hours. The VAUXHALL VIVA, approximately eight years old, has accumulated 75,339 miles, which is roughly 8,371 miles per year. While this rate is typical for its age, it is notably higher than the 67,430 miles recorded on 2025-03-12, indicating that the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation over the past two years. This rapid growth suggests that the owner may have been using the car less frequently or that the vehicle has been maintained for a short period without regular servicing, leading to accelerated wear on specific components. The most critical findings in the MOT history are recurring faults in suspension and tyre wear that have not resolved. The vehicle has failed twice on tyre tread, with the most recent test on 2025-03-12 showing nearside and offside tyre wear close to legal limits. While the tyre wear has not progressed to a structural failure yet, it represents an ongoing trend of consumable wear that requires proactive maintenance. The presence of cuts on the rear tyres, which were not deep enough to reach the ply or cords, is a serious structural risk that must be addressed to prevent future derailment or suspension failure.
