2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FH65 CHK

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following a pass at 85,132 miles on 7 March 2026, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle carries no recorded defects across its last four tests, indicating no active advisories or outstanding mechanical concerns at the time of the most recent examination. A failed test on 6 March 2026 at 85,118 miles was followed one day later by a pass at 85,132 miles, with no defects logged on either entry; this suggests an administrative or minor rectification turnaround rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,513 miles per year against a ten-year-old vehicle, a typical use profile for a light commercial van of this type. The record shows 69,444 miles on 26 February 2024, rising to 76,221 miles by 26 February 2025 and 85,132 miles by March 2026, equating to around 7,700 to 9,000 miles annually with no abrupt accumulation. The history is sparse and clean, offering no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across the four-year span, which implies consistent basic upkeep by prior keepers. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear despite the absent MOT flags. The back-to-back fail and pass in March 2026 with zero defects recorded warrants verification that no latent issue such as a binding caliper or worn coil spring was overlooked during the rapid retest. Examine brake discs for scoring, check suspension mounts for play, and confirm underbody condition for rust given the van's age and light commercial duty cycle. Given the clean advisory sheet, focus physical checks on items the MOT tester may not probe deeply: steering rack gaiters, door step corrosion, and tyre sidewall cracking from standing periods. The low defect history supports a sound purchase assumption, but independent confirmation of mechanical condition remains prudent before completion.
