2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · EY16 ORU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on March 11, 2026, 92,811 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement after a significant mechanical failure in April 2025. While the vehicle previously struggled with critical defects in the suspension and braking systems, the most recent inspection indicates that these faults were rectified and that the issues identified during the 2025 test were addressed by the owner. At 92,811 miles over ten years, the Vivaro averages approximately 9,281 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with roughly 7,500 miles driven between the May 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 8,000 miles covered between April 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the recently repaired suspension components. The April 2025 failure flagged a nearside front shock absorber with a serious fluid leak and a fractured nearside rear coil spring; these must be verified to ensure quality parts were used and no secondary damage exists to the mounting points. Furthermore, the rear brake discs have been noted as pitted or scored in three consecutive years since 2024. Although the vehicle passed the 2026 test, the recurring issue warrants checking the remaining thickness of the discs and the condition of the caliper pistons to ensure the braking system is not nearing the end of its functional life.
