2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · AF18 RGV

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 March 2026 at 145,562 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the prior three annual examinations. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-entry history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded MOT cycle. Recorded mileage stands at 145,562 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 18,195 miles per year and placing this van in the high-use bracket for its age. The records show consistent annual accumulation: 90,549 miles in March 2023, 111,150 in March 2024, 137,105 in March 2025, and 145,562 by March 2026. The only anomaly is the 20 March 2024 failure at 111,144 miles, reversed the next day at 111,150 with a pass and no defects logged, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair event. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the timeline, previous ownership appears to have maintained the vehicle to a passable standard without deferred consumable neglect. The clean sheet offers no recurring fault pattern to track. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis and load floor, as MOT pass records do not capture early-stage rust or worn coil springs before they breach test thresholds. High mileage vans of this type commonly develop binding calipers and tired suspension components through constant cycle use. The 2024 same-week fail-pass pair warrants a check of the test centre documentation to confirm the rejection cause. Otherwise the evidence supports a structurally sound commercial vehicle with disciplined annual testing.
