2016 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · CK16 DTN

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 42,384 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of minor failures in 2025. While the 2025 test revealed issues with the seat belt webbing and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, the most recent inspection indicates these faults have been addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting all safety standards. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. There is a notable increase of 7,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, followed by another 5,000 miles leading up to the latest test. This low annual usage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between service intervals can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or brake-related corrosion issues that are not fully captured by the MOT data alone. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front seat belt webbing to ensure the fraying noted in 2025 has been fully replaced rather than merely repaired. The history also shows a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues, including uneven wear in 2020 and sidewall damage in 2021, which warrants a check of the current alignment and tyre condition for sidewall integrity. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be examined for surface pitting or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from oxidation on the braking system.
