2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN16 TSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor decline regarding brake component oversight. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 114,757 miles resulted in a failure due to a missing offside rear reflector and worn front brake discs. While the reflector was rectified to secure a pass, the persistence of worn brake discs across multiple annual tests suggests the previous owner was deferring component upgrades rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year over the ten-year period. Between September 2022 at 89,285 miles and September 2023 at 103,963 miles, the van covered 14,678 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The interval of 9,316 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests and 1,478 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a steady, predictable usage pattern in more recent years. A buyer must specifically inspect the front braking system for signs of pitting, scoring, or uneven wear, as the tester flagged these discs in both September 2024 and November 2025. The recurring nature of this advisory indicates the discs are likely nearing the end of their functional life or are already thin. Given the high mileage and age of the Vivaro, a thorough physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also necessary, as the record does not account for structural corrosion issues which are common on this model as they approach the 120,000-mile mark.
