2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN66 AAV

The Vauxhall Vivaro passed its most recent MOT on 31 August 2023 at 148,812 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no escalating faults. The vehicle remains roadworthy on paper as of that test, though the record is now nearly three years old relative to today's date and no subsequent test confirms its present condition. The odometer climbed from 98,419 miles at the 1 September 2021 pass to 116,071 miles by the 2 September 2022 fail, then to 148,812 miles by the 29 August 2023 fail. That equates to roughly 18,000 to 32,000 miles per year in the later intervals, above the 14,881 annual average for its age and consistent with hard commercial use. The two failed tests on 29 August 2023 and 2 September 2022 both list no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection, but the pattern of failing then passing days later implies last-minute rectification or clerical re-entry rather than neglected faults. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and age. The MOT data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions failure, or structural integrity concerns across the five entries, yet the absence of advisories on a 148,812-mile van is unusual and warrants scrutiny of worn tyres, binding calipers, and underbody rust not captured by the tester. Given the lapse since the 2023 test, the vehicle requires a fresh MOT and a workshop check of drivetrain wear before purchase. Previous owners kept the van on the road with minimal recorded faults, but the sparse clean history offers little insight into consumable replacement cycles.
