2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN66 KVR

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently rated as good , but maintenance trends indicate a worsening pattern compared to the most recent assessment, specifically concerning the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test on 2025-09-13 at 170,897 miles was passed, yet the failure to pass in the previous 2024-09-10 test at 129,941 miles suggests a worsening trend. This is consistent with the failure on 2022-08-24 at 80,317 miles, where the tester flagged a slight play in the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, indicating that the suspension components are becoming more susceptible to wear and failure over time. The mileage accumulation is rapid and unaccounted for , creating a significant gap that the vehicle owner must address. The vehicle has accumulated 170,897 miles in a single year, which is exceptionally high for a 10-year-old vehicle. This rapid mileage means that the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes is likely accelerating faster than the vehicle's age suggests. The lack of a gap in the MOT history between 2023 and 2024, with only two passes at 82,236 and 129,941 miles respectively, confirms that the vehicle has been maintained consistently, but the lack of a gap between 2022 and 2023 means that the wear on the anti-roll bar linkage and other suspension parts has not been adequately monitored or addressed. In conclusion, the vehicle carries a structural risk due to the worsening maintenance trend and rapid mileage accumulation. The most recent test on 2025-09-13 at 170,897 miles was passed, but the failure on 2024-09-10 at 129,941 miles and the subsequent failure on 2022-08-24 at 80,317 miles indicate that the suspension and braking components are becoming more prone to failure. The buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as well as for corrosion and wear on the brake discs and calipers, given the rapid mileage accumulation that has not been fully mitigated.
