2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DL16 DPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last several years. The most recent inspection on 24 November 2025 at 92,918 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical condition is being managed effectively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a van of this age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the vehicle covered 4,900 miles, showing a relatively steady rate of operation. The interval between the December 2024 test and the November 2025 test shows a further 1,772 miles recorded, which represents a slight drop in annual frequency but does not indicate neglect. The mileage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive commercial strain that would accelerate component failure. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and common wear points for Vivaro models at the 90,000-mile threshold. Although the MOT record does not list specific advisories, the failure on 12 December 2023 followed by an immediate pass suggests a specific fault was identified and rectified. Attention should be paid to signs of corrosion on the chassis mounts and the condition of the wish arm bushes, as these are areas where hidden wear often occurs before appearing as an MOT failure.
