2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN68 PXL

The vehicle, a 2018 Vauxhall Vivaro, has a current roadworthiness status of uncertain due to a failed MOT on 2026-01-13, with nearside rear tyre tread depth below requirements and rear brake pads wearing thin. This recent failure suggests a worsening maintenance trend, as the vehicle had passed its previous MOT on 2026-01-16 with no defects recorded. It is essential to investigate these issues further to ensure the vehicle's safety and reliability. The vehicle's mileage pattern is relatively typical for its age, with approximately 6,268 miles per year accumulated over the past eight years. However, the recent rapid increase in mileage, from 48,174 miles in 2025 to 50,146 miles in 2026, may indicate a change in usage or ownership. This increase is notable, given that the vehicle had accumulated approximately 15,000 miles in the preceding three years. It is worth noting that the mileage gap between 2021 and 2024 is relatively large, with 23,565 miles in 2021 and 43,633 miles in 2024, suggesting that the vehicle may have been stationary for a period. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's rear brakes and tyres in person, as these were the primary reasons for the recent failure. The nearside rear tyre tread depth is below the required minimum, and the rear brake pads are wearing thin. Additionally, the vehicle's history suggests that the suspension may be a concern, with the nearside front shock absorbers having negligible damping effect in 2025 and the nearside front coil spring fractured or broken in 2024. The buyer should also examine the vehicle's windscreen wipers, as they were not clearing the windscreen effectively in 2025. Furthermore, the vehicle's history indicates that the engine may be a potential issue, with the engine MIL inoperative or indicating a malfunction in 2024.
