2017 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · BT67 SDX

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-28 recorded three minor defects: offside and nearside front brake discs worn but not excessively, with lipping on inner and outer faces; a broken central front upper exhaust mounting; and a deteriorated central front lower registration plate. These issues suggest routine wear on braking components and a structural fault in the exhaust system. The brake disc lipping indicates uneven wear, which could signal misalignment or improper maintenance. The exhaust mounting defect requires immediate attention to prevent further damage or safety risks. Recurring issues include brake disc wear and exhaust mounting problems, both of which appeared in prior MOTs. The 2024-11-29 MOT noted multiple tire-related defects, including cracked and worn tires, but these were not repeated in the 2025 MOT. This suggests repairs or replacements were made. However, the brake disc and exhaust issues have persisted, indicating potential ongoing mechanical stress or insufficient maintenance. No major safety-critical defects were recorded in MOTs from 2023-2021, implying a generally stable condition prior to 2024. The vehicle’s mileage of 75,423 miles over 9 years equates to roughly 8,380 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
