2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN16 YMS

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 21 October 2025 at 129,518 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the last three annual cycles, with each pass showing a fault-free result. The vehicle avoided any advisories or recorded wear items throughout, indicating the tester found no cause for concern at the presented mileages. Recorded mileage sits at 129,518 against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 12,952 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to steady working use rather than long idle periods. The gap between the September 2023 test at 110,402 miles and the September 2024 test at 122,846 miles shows about 12,444 miles covered, then 6,672 miles to the October 2025 pass. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass. The history shows two failed tests on 26 September 2023 and 17 September 2024 at 110,402 and 122,846 miles respectively, yet both list no defects and were followed by immediate passes on the same dates. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as the linked passes carry zero recorded defects. No recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion problems appear in the data to imply ongoing mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, suspension components, and brake condition given the high annual mileage, despite the clean record. Verify the reason for the two same-day fail-and-pass pairs with the test centre, as the absence of defect codes offers no technical explanation. Check underneath for exhaust corrosion and inspect tyre tread depth, as these consumables wear faster under 12,000-plus annual miles and were not flagged in the supplied entries.
