2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FM65 CFP

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 31 March 2026 at 134,192 miles with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual tests from February 2023 through March 2026 returned passes with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the statutory roadworthiness threshold without recurring mechanical flags. The recorded mileage of 134,192 miles against a 2016 build date equates to roughly 13,400 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial vehicle of this age and points to sustained daily use rather than intermittent standing. The test on 4 April 2024 at 118,601 miles failed administratively with no defects listed, then passed six days later at 118,618 miles; this suggests a documentation or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault. Annual increments have stayed consistent, with about 6,000 to 9,000 miles added between tests, so no abrupt accumulation or dormant periods appear in the record. Given the clean advisory history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not capture emerging rust outside test-day findings. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be physically checked for wear consistent with the high mileage, and the exhaust emissions verified on a cold start. The absence of flagged faults does not exempt a 10-year, 134k-mile van from consumable fatigue invisible to the DVSA dataset.
