2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · EY67 AEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 February 2026 resulted in a pass at 159,706 miles. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is high for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 17,745 miles per year. The usage pattern has accelerated significantly in the last three years. Between 30 January 2023 and 31 January 2024, the vehicle covered 23,182 miles. This increased to 29,197 miles by 29 January 2025, and surged further to 34,526 miles by the February 2026 test. This trajectory indicates heavy commercial use. The MOT history is unusually clean for a high-mileage Vivaro, with no advisories or defects recorded across several years. This lack of data on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a vehicle with nearly 160,000 miles. It suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime outside of the MOT process or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as the MOT record provides no insight into structural integrity. Given the rapid mileage increase since 2023, priority should be given to checking the condition of the clutch, flywheel, and timing belt intervals. The suspension components and steering rack should also be checked for play, as these typically degrade under the high-mileage load seen here.
