2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FD18 XBA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in recent testing. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 March 2025 at 53,490 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all minimum legal safety standards. Following a single failure in early April 2023, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass, suggesting that any previous mechanical issues were addressed promptly by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between the April 2022 test at 30,199 miles and the April 2024 test at 45,352 miles, the vehicle covered 15,153 miles. The more recent interval of 8,138 miles leading to the 2025 test shows a steady, predictable usage rate. This low annual mileage generally implies that wear on drivetrain components, turbo, and suspension bushings should be relatively minimal compared to high-mileage commercial vans. While the record shows no recurring advisories, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on common Vivaro failure points that MOT tests may not fully capture. Check the rear subframe and sills for early signs of corrosion, as these can affect even low-mile vehicles. Given the low mileage, inspect the rubber components for cracking or perish, as vehicles that sit for long periods suffer from material degradation rather than mechanical wear. Ensure the brake discs are free of heavy pitting from standing, which can lead to poor performance upon use.
