2017 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · AU17 PDK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes over five consecutive years. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 March 2026 at 7,609 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has remained in a condition-compliant state without any recurring mechanical degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 845 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 4,479 miles and the 2026 test at 7,609 miles, the car covered only 3,130 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short trips or stored for extended periods, which can lead to specific issues regarding rubber components and fluid integrity that do not necessarily manifest on an odometer alone. While the MOT record shows no faults, a physical inspection must focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. You should check the brake discs for surface corrosion or flat spotting, which often occurs when a vehicle sits without regular use. The tyres should be examined closely for sidewall cracking or perished rot, as the rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and split boots to ensure they have not become brittle or perished due to the lack of mechanical movement.
