2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · DN67 TMZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-24 at 88,618 miles showed a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the prior test on the same date at 86,617 miles resulted in a fail, though no defects were noted. This inconsistency suggests potential issues with testing procedures or unrecorded faults. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 showed passes at 81,833 and 73,120 miles respectively, with no defects. The lack of recurring mechanical failures in passed tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard, but the unexplained failures raise concerns about reliability. The mileage of 88,618 miles over 9 years aligns with an average of 9,846 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. However, the gap between the 2024 test (81,833 miles) and the 2025 test (88,618 miles) spans 11 months, exceeding the standard 12-month MOT validity period. This suggests the vehicle may have operated without a valid MOT for over a year, potentially leading to undetected wear. The 2023 tests at 73,120 and 73,117 miles, occurring on the same date, show minimal mileage variation, hinting at possible data entry errors or short-term usage patterns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the age and mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in passed tests is reassuring, but the unexplained failures warrant scrutiny of the braking mechanism, including calipers and discs. Structural integrity should also be assessed for corrosion, as prolonged periods without MOT checks can exacerbate rust. While the record lacks specific mechanical faults, the irregular testing history and unresolved failures necessitate a professional inspection to confirm roadworthiness.
