2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN67 COU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging wear-related defects. The most recent test in May 2026 at 143,462 miles flagged several advisories including a worn tyre, missing light components, and corroded bumper mountings. While the vehicle passed, the transition from a clean report in 2023 to multiple advisories suggests the van is entering a phase of more frequent maintenance typical of its age and . At 143,462 miles over nine years, this Vivaro averages approximately 16,000 miles per year, which is consistent with heavy commercial use. The data shows steady accumulation of mileage, with nearly 4,000 miles covered between October 2024 and May 2026. This high usage rate places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The failure in November 2023 due to an inoperative engine management light indicates a past lapse in electronic systems monitoring, though this appeared to be rectified immediately for the subsequent pass. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the 2024 test noted leaking shock absorbers and worn Macpherson strut bushes. These components are prone to accelerated failure given the high mileage and age of the vehicle. The corrosion on the front bumper mountings noted in 2026 is currently non-structural but requires monitoring of the surrounding bodywork to ensure rust does not migrate into the main chassis. Additionally, the worn nearside front tyre requires immediate replacement, and the missing registration plate lamp should be addressed to ensure legal compliance.
