2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FH16 OTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 102,388 miles flagged the rear brake discs as being worn and pitted, this is a recurring issue first noted in April 2024. The pattern suggests that braking components are only being addressed when they approach a point of failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage profile is consistent with a high-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between April 2023 (49,790 miles) and April 2025 (81,188 miles), representing a jump of over 31,000 miles in two years. This rapid accumulation likely accelerated the wear seen on consumable items, which is evidenced by the sudden appearance of thin brake pads and tyre damage during the 2024 inspection period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows a history of thin pads, worn discs, and inner sidewall damage on tyres, which often points to poor alignment or neglected mechanical maintenance. The nearside rear tyre wearing on the outer edge in 2025 suggests a potential camber issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further tyre failure. Additionally, the recurring pitting on the rear discs across multiple years indicates the vehicle may be exposed to corrosive environments or sits stationary for long periods between use.
