2017 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · AP66 MYH

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 74,075 miles passed, yet it highlighted multiple issues related to tyre condition and the tyre pressure monitoring system. While the car avoids major mechanical failures or structural defects, the persistence of perishing rubber and physical damage suggests that the owner has neglected basic consumable maintenance until prompted by MOT inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. The record shows a steady accumulation of distance, moving from 37,873 miles in 2021 to over 74,000 miles by the most recent test. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is beneficial for engine seals and braking components, though the jump of 9,200 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests coincides with the appearance of significant wear on rubber components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the record notes cracking and perishing across both 2024 and 2025 tests. These indicators suggest the tyres are age-related and failing in the sidewalls regardless of remaining tread depth. The illuminated tyre pressure light also requires investigation, as it has remained a fault for two consecutive years. Additionally, the broken exhaust bracket noted in 2023 should be verified to ensure the exhaust system remains securely mounted and has not suffered secondary damage or corrosion due to vibration.
