2006 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9L Diesel · FN56 VNE

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 165,974 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of results across the available history. Annual mileage averages around 8,300 miles, which is typical for a 2006 panel van. The records show steady accumulation: 123,428 miles in August 2022, 131,832 in September 2023, 151,630 in October 2024, and 165,974 in October 2025. A minor anomaly appears in early October 2024 when the van failed on 4 October at 151,628 miles yet passed three days later at 151,630 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or retest discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. The dataset is sparse but consistently clean outside that anomaly. With no advisories or defects logged across five tests, the MOT record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the vehicle's twenty-year age and 165,974 miles. The lack of flagged issues does not exempt the van from age-related degradation in exhaust emissions systems or steering joints. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the unexplained 2024 failure-retest pair warrants confirmation of the original refusal reason from DVSA records before purchase.
