2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DA18 CPY

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 83,518 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening wear or recurring defects under official inspection. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 10,440 miles against the 2018 build year, a typical figure for this age of light commercial vehicle. The records show steady yearly accumulation: 54,294 miles in March 2023, 64,226 in March 2024, 74,468 in March 2025, and 83,518 by March 2026. A single anomaly exists on 28 March 2024 where the tester issued a fail followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting an administrative or procedural reversal rather than a genuine mechanical concern. Given the absence of flagged items across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A clean MOT sequence with no advisories does not equate to a fault-free vehicle, only that no testable defect met failure thresholds at each annual point. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of load-bearing chassis members, subframe mounts, and brake calipers for binding or uneven pad wear, as these can develop between tests. Verify the 28 March 2024 dual entry with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect, and check tyre sidewalls, wiper function, and underbody rust not always captured in the pass record.
