2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FM16 RYW

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 28 July 2025 at 78,416 miles recording no defects. Prior to that pass the same day's initial test failed at 78,408 miles, yet the failure listed no defects, indicating an administrative or data-entry rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the preceding three years the vehicle cleared every test without advisories, showing no worsening condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,842 per year against a ten-year life, which is typical for this 2016 panel van. The records show 36,544 miles on 21 December 2022, then 41,831 on 2 August 2023, 58,108 on 29 July 2024, and 78,416 on 28 July 2025. The jump of over 20,000 miles between mid-2024 and mid-2025 marks a single year of heavier use, likely commercial, after lighter running. The clean test sheet across all dates gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the van's elevated final-year mileage and light commercial loading cycles. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the DVSA data is reassuring, but standing water ingress around sills and wheel arches should be checked on the ramp. Verify the 2025 same-day fail was clerical by obtaining the full DVSA test certificate before purchase.
