2018 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · CK18 XCZ

The Vauxhall Viva passed its most recent DVSA test on 1 April 2026 at 61,743 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a stable and unremarkable roadworthiness trend. Every annual examination from April 2022 through April 2026 returned a clean pass. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults, no recurring advisories, and no mechanical interventions flagged by testers. Mileage advanced from 21,626 miles at the 14 April 2022 test to 31,540 miles on 13 April 2023, then 41,145 miles on 10 April 2024, 51,678 miles on 15 April 2025, and 61,743 miles on 1 April 2026. This equates to roughly 10,000 miles added each year over the past four cycles, a steady accumulation that sits above the vehicle’s lifetime average of about 7,700 miles per annum. The early life likely saw lighter use; the later record reflects consistent commuting-style mileage. No gaps exceed thirteen months between tests, indicating the previous keeper adhered to timely MOT scheduling. The absence of recorded advisories does not remove the need for a physical inspection. A buyer should still examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe areas for corrosion, as Viva models can hide rust where the tester’s ramp view is limited. Check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition despite no prior failures. The clean history implies a conscientious owner who addressed consumables before each test. At eight years old, scrutinise exhaust emissions under cold start and confirm structural integrity of door sills and chassis mounts. A short road test will confirm steering alignment and gearbox smoothness absent from MOT documentation.
