2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FM16 YVG

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 April 2024 at 147,521 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no escalating mechanical concerns. However, the record reveals an odd administrative pattern: on both 4 April 2023 and 22 April 2024 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileages, with no defects listed on either attempt. This suggests clerical or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than genuine roadworthiness faults. At roughly ten years old the van shows 147,521 miles, equating to about 14,752 miles per year, which is high for a 2016 light commercial. Mileage climbed from 135,008 on 4 April 2022 to 141,219 by 4 April 2023, then to 147,521 by 22 April 2024, a steady annual accumulation near the average. No long dormant periods or sudden jumps appear in the data. The DVSA entries are sparse and entirely clean of advisories, offering little insight into wear on consumables or structure beyond the odometer. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual use and absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag gradual wear. The same-day fail-pass entries warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed defects exist. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be examined closely, as a clean MOT at this mileage does not guarantee freedom from rust on sills or chassis rails. Given the repeated zero-defect tests, previous keepers likely maintained basic test compliance, though the twin fail-pass logs imply loose record-keeping rather than neglect. Verify service history independently before purchase.
