2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN66 KYB

The 2016 Vauxhall Vivaro presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 135,459 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of five consecutive passes from 2021 through 2025. The DVSA history shows no advisories, no failures, and no flagged wear across any examined component. Annual mileage averages 13,546 against the vehicle's ten-year life, which sits high for a light commercial van of this age and points to steady, heavy use rather than long idle periods. The records confirm consistent accumulation: 68,939 miles in September 2021, rising to 78,709 by September 2022, 94,543 by September 2023, 115,802 by September 2024, and 135,459 by October 2025. The gaps between tests stay within standard twelve-month cycles, and the clean sheets at each point suggest the previous keeper kept the van to a regular garage schedule despite the workload. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and the fact that MOT passes with zero advisories do not measure remaining component life. Drivetrain wear on a 135,000-mile diesel Vivaro warrants a cold-start check for turbo and clutch condition. Structural underbody corrosion remains the key silent risk on Vauxhall vans of this era; the tester logged none, but a ramp examination of chassis rails and sills is prudent before purchase.
