2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DL16 AEF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-17 at 104,615 miles confirmed roadworthiness with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests since 2022, including a 2024-09-10 inspection at 97,425 miles and a 2023-09-11 test at 90,075 miles. The 2022-09-09 test, though listed as failed, showed no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-critical issue resolved before retesting. Overall, the maintenance trend indicates stability, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the last four years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,462 miles annually. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps between assessments. The 2022-09-09 test at 85,113 miles was followed by a 2023-09-11 inspection at 90,075 miles, reflecting a 4,962-mile increase over 12 months. This steady accumulation suggests consistent operation rather than prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. The absence of advisories or failures in recent tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, though no data exists on non-MOT-related servicing. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without visible defects. The absence of brake-related issues in recent tests does not preclude inspection of calipers, discs, and brake fluid levels, as binding or uneven wear could develop between inspections. Structural corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system or underbody, warrants scrutiny, as it often manifests gradually. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
