2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN67 FFX

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 122,092 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 6 November 2024 at 112,758 miles is anomalous as the record shows no defects cited, with a pass issued on the same day under the same mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly nine years old the van has covered 122,092 miles, averaging about 13,566 miles per year, which is high for a 2017 light commercial. Mileage climbed from 83,280 at the 5 September 2022 test to 97,286 by 20 July 2023, then to 112,758 by November 2024 and 122,092 by October 2025. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests exceeds the standard twelve months, indicating a lapse in testing discipline or a period of reduced use. The steady yearly accumulation points to consistent hard service rather than neglect of distance. The clean advisory history across all tests means no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components were flagged at the point of inspection. A buyer should still verify in person that the absence of recorded advisories reflects reality, given the high annual mileage places load on coil springs, track rod ends, and brake discs. Standing the van on a ramp to check for underside corrosion and inspect the condition of the clutch and drivetrain is prudent before purchase. The same-day fail and pass in November 2024 without noted defects implies the earlier rejection was likely a documentation error at the testing station. Given the unbroken pass record since, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic test-standard level, though the sparse history offers little insight into consumable replacement intervals such as tyres or wiper blades.
