2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN68 PXV

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 65,353 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across the prior four years the vehicle cleared every subsequent examination without advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition rather than a worsening fault pattern. Recorded mileage rose from 35,054 miles at the 29 June 2022 test to 44,635 miles on 6 July 2023, then 54,552 miles on 8 July 2024, reaching 65,353 miles by June 2025. This equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,800 miles added per year, close to the 8,169 annual average for an eight year old van. The DVSA data shows no missing years and no abrupt accumulation, though the single 2023 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same date at identical mileage with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a genuine repair. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion given the age and light commercial duty cycle. The clean advisory history offers no flagged wear on tyres, exhaust emissions or structural integrity, yet MOT cleansheets on vans of this type often mask latent rust at sill and chassis junctions unseen during a brief test. Given the absent advisories across five examinations, previous keepers appear to have maintained the Vivaro to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable neglect. Verify service records independently and probe for undocumented intermittent faults, as the official record alone cannot confirm drivetrain health beyond emissions compliance on test day.
