2006 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · FN56 UST

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 25 January 2025 at 183,682 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with the vehicle clearing its last test cleanly and showing no accumulated advisories or recurring mechanical faults in the data supplied. Recorded mileage rose from 148,060 at the January 2023 failure to 168,350 by February 2024, then to 183,682 by January 2025. That equates to roughly 20,000 miles over two years, or about 10,000 miles annually, close to the 9,184 per-year average for a 2006 van. The history is sparse but clean between passes, with no advisories logged on any successful test to indicate developing wear on consumables or structure. The record shows two failed tests in early 2023 and early 2024, both dated one or two days before a same-mileage pass with no defects listed. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at initial testing rather than resolved mechanical faults, though the lack of recorded defects leaves the root cause unconfirmed. A buyer should still verify the suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions in person, as these are common Vivaro wear points not captured by a defect-free certificate. Given the van is now twenty years old and the most recent test sits over seventeen months behind today's date, a fresh MOT and physical inspection remain prudent before purchase. Prior owners kept annual mileage typical for the model, implying neither prolonged standing nor harsh commercial overuse, but the unexplained fail-pass pairs warrant direct questioning of the selling garage.
