2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DC17 BXG

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 June 2025 at 87,595 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the three-year history supplied. The vehicle cleared its final test six days after a failed attempt on 17 June 2025 at 87,494 miles, though the failure entry logs no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical light-commercial use for a nine-year-old van. The record shows 66,448 miles at the 27 June 2023 test, rising to 75,365 miles by 25 June 2024 and 87,494 miles by the June 2025 failure, an average of roughly 10,500 miles per year. No standing periods or abrupt jumps appear in the data. The clean advisory columns across all five entries indicate the previous keeper addressed test requirements without accruing outstanding wear items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake discs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The two failed tests with zero recorded defects warrant scrutiny of the failure reasons, as DVSA systems occasionally omit minor presentation faults like number-plate legibility or lamp alignment. Verify the June 2025 failure was not a concealed brake-binding or emissions fault later cleared without remark. Check underneath for structural corrosion on chassis rails and sills given the van's age and salt-exposure risk. Examine front coil springs and steering joints for fatigue, and confirm tyre tread depths and exhaust integrity match the clean record. The sparse history implies competent upkeep, but a pre-purchase mechanical check remains prudent.
