2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DL16 ADV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-09 at 116,266 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-05-15 and 2023-05-12 also passed without issues, though an apparent duplicate entry for 2024-05-15 shows a fail with no defects listed. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests suggests the car has remained roadworthy. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the documented history. The vehicle’s mileage of 116,266 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,627 miles, consistent with its 10-year age. Tests were conducted annually between 2022 and 2025, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation. The 2024-05-15 test at 110,777 miles shows a pass and a fail entry, but no defects were recorded in either, complicating interpretation. The clean history from 2022 to 2025 suggests regular compliance with road safety standards, though the 2024 anomaly warrants scrutiny during a physical inspection. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these often manifest gradually. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, is another area to inspect, as it may not trigger MOT failures until advanced. The absence of recorded issues is positive, but the 2024 test discrepancy highlights the importance of a thorough pre-purchase examination.
