2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FJ17 XLA

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 April 2025 at 118,314 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures noted by DVSA testers. The van has covered 118,314 miles in roughly nine years, averaging about 13,146 miles per year, which is high for a 2017 light commercial vehicle and points to consistent hard use rather than long idle periods. Annual mileage accumulation held steady across the record: 85,436 miles at the 7 April 2022 test, 97,055 on 29 March 2023, 108,981 on 4 April 2024, and 118,314 by April 2025, showing roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles added each year. The MOT history is sparse in faults, with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the high annual mileage and commercial-duty cycle, as MOT passes with no advisories do not capture incipient weld fatigue or damp-related rot in chassis rails. The brake calipers, coil springs, and drivetrain mounts warrant hands-on checks for binding or fatigue not visible in a clean test sheet. Previous owners kept the test schedule current and avoided lapsed certificates or repeated failures, implying basic statutory upkeep was maintained even if no voluntary servicing is evidenced by the record. Given the 15-month gap since the last test as of today, arrange a fresh mechanical check before purchase.
