2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · EY16 OPH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2025 at 101,634 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories to a clean pass suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between August 2022 at 75,930 miles and July 2025 at 101,634 miles, the Vivaro covered over 25,000 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to seal failure. There are no significant gaps in the records that would suggest odometer tampering or irregular intervals between testing. An in-person inspection should focus on the areas that previously required attention to ensure the faults have not returned. While the 2022 test flagged a loose offside front ABS cable and a loose under tray, the buyer should verify that the sensor wiring is securely routed and free from chafing to prevent future warning lights. The windscreen damage noted in 2023 should also be checked for new cracks that may have developed due to vibration or temperature changes since that test. Given the vehicle has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary. Although the MOT history does not highlight structural corrosion or brake binding, high-mileage commercial vans often experience accelerated wear on the drivetrain and braking components. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as the nearside rear tyre was previously flagged for damage.
