2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FL16 HWF

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 18 March 2026 at 70,367 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The March 2026 test shows a fail and pass logged on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, mirroring an identical pattern from April 2025 when a fail on 9 April at 66,261 miles was followed by a pass on 15 April at the same mileage. These same-day reversals without listed defects suggest administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults requiring rectification. The odometer advanced from 64,139 miles at the April 2024 pass to 66,261 miles by April 2025, then to 70,367 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 2,100 miles in the first year and 4,100 in the second, both well below the 7,037 annual average for a ten-year-old van. Low annual use implies lighter duty cycles, though the repeated same-day fail-pass entries at 66,261 and 70,367 miles show the keeper returned promptly for retest, indicating basic test compliance was maintained even if the failure cause was undocumented. No advisories or defects appear across any test in the record, so the DVSA data gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis corrosion, suspension joints, and brake caliper operation given the van's age and the unexplained fail entries. The clean recorded history offers reassurance, but the undocumented failures warrant confirmation that no hidden mechanical defect was masked at retest.
