2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN16 DMO

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 8 August 2025 at 52,649 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met all standards at that time. This trend of zero defects across the last five tests suggests a vehicle that has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or neglected maintenance-related issues. The mileage pattern is notably low for a decade-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 5,265 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between October 2021 at 42,844 miles and August 2025 at 52,649 miles, during which the vehicle covered only 9,805 miles over nearly four years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts such as perished bushes or seized brake calipers, which the MOT does not always catch while stationary. Despite the clean record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of areas associated with low-mileage older vans. Focus should be placed on the condition of the tyres and checking for flat spots or dry rot resulting from the vehicle sitting for extended periods. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion on structural members, as the Vivaro chassis is prone to rust regardless of distance driven. Additionally, verify that the timing belt and fluids have been replaced according to time intervals rather than mileage, as these components age over time.
