2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FH16 OFW

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 May 2025 at 128,844 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no escalating faults or unresolved advisories. Two earlier failures in April 2023 and April 2025 at identical mileages to their subsequent passes suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical defects, as the DVSA record logs no defects on either failure. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,884 miles, high for a 2016 van but consistent with light commercial use. The record shows 108,260 miles in April 2023, 116,797 miles in April 2024, and 128,844 miles by May 2025, a steady accumulation of around 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year with no standing gaps. The sparse test data, containing only passes and two defect-free failures, gives limited insight into consumable wear but indicates the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage and ten-year age, as these components accrue fatigue absent from a clean MOT sheet. The twin failure-then-pass pattern at 108,260 and 128,707 miles implies the vehicle may have arrived at test with minor non-mechanical rejections, so verify the V5C and any retest paperwork. No structural corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or binding calipers appear in the official record. The Vivaro's history supports cautious confidence, but in-person checks on tyre tread depth and underside integrity remain prudent before purchase.
