2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · CV16 WMK

The 2016 Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 39,528 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows light use for a ten-year-old van. From the 1 September 2022 test at 30,232 miles, the vehicle covered only 9,296 miles over the following three years, averaging roughly 3,100 miles annually. The DVSA record is sparse, with just five entries and no advisories or defects logged at any stage, so the data offers limited insight into component wear beyond confirmation of periodic compliance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low annual mileage combined with the 2022 duplicate test entry, where the van failed and passed on the same day at 30,232 miles with no defects noted, may indicate a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, but warrants verification against the V5C and test certificate. Standing time implied by the low use can accelerate perishing of rubber suspension bushes, brake caliper seizing, and corrosion to structural underbody members even where the MOT logged nothing. Focus the viewing on brake disc condition, handbrake operation, and any structural rust at chassis weld points and suspension mounting areas. The absence of advisories across all tests suggests previous keepers addressed issues pre-test or the vehicle saw gentle duty, yet the record alone cannot confirm the true state of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades at the present date.
