2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DC17 LBF

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 239,616 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the van cleared the 6 March 2025 examination at 232,501 miles and the 15 March 2024 examination at 223,205 miles, both also passing without advisories. The repeated fail-and-pass pairs on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 show administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, as the DVSA record logs no defects on either the failures or the subsequent passes. Mileage stands at 239,616 over roughly nine years, an average of 26,624 per annum which is high for a 2017 light commercial. The odometer climbed from 223,205 in March 2024 to 232,501 in March 2025, then to 239,616 by March 2026, equating to about 9,300 miles in the latest year and under 10,000 the year before. This tapering accumulation suggests heavier early life use, likely as a delivery or trade vehicle, with recent lighter duty. The sparse history shows only annual tests with no flagged corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues across the visible record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the age and historic high annual mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of developing rust on chassis rails or sills. The front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have absorbed substantial load cycles; examine for cracking or binding calipers despite the clean test outcomes. Verify the service history covers cambelt and drivetrain intervals, since the Vivaro's 26k yearly average demands disciplined maintenance that the MOT alone cannot evidence.
