2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FE15 ADO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-07 at 145,774 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date entry shows a failure at 145,773 miles with no recorded issues. This suggests a possible administrative error or retest, though the absence of defect details limits clarity. Previous tests from 2023 and 2022 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record. However, the lack of recent inspections beyond April 2025 raises concerns about potential undetected deterioration, particularly given the high mileage of 145,774 miles over 11 years. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation averages 13,252 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. Notably, the 2022-07-25 tests at 143,851 miles show a pass and failure on the same day, again without defect details. This pattern, coupled with a 14-month gap between the 2023 and 2025 MOTs, suggests inconsistent inspection practices. The sparse data makes it difficult to assess long-term trends, but the high annual mileage implies increased risk of fatigue in critical systems. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension, focusing on worn bushes and coil springs, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, as these are common in high-mileage vehicles. Structural corrosion, particularly in the chassis or underbody, warrants scrutiny due to the age and potential exposure to road salt. While MOT records show no immediate failures, the lack of detailed defect reports and the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitate a professional assessment to confirm the integrity of safety-critical components.
