2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FN68 RXM

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 8 September 2025 at 87,265 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. Prior to this, the tester issued a fail on 5 September 2025 at 87,260 miles yet logged no defects, a pattern repeated when the van failed on 28 August 2023 at 79,174 miles and passed three weeks later on 21 September 2023 at 79,189 miles with no faults noted. Such fail-with-no-defect outcomes typically point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,900 miles against an eight-year life, which is ordinary for a light commercial vehicle of this type. The records show 79,189 miles in September 2023, rising to 86,197 by October 2024 and 87,265 by September 2025. That equates to under 8,100 miles in the first interval and barely 1,000 miles across the following eleven months, indicating the van saw light use in its final recorded year. The sparse, clean advisories across all tests give no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Vivaro's age and the unexplained fail entries where no defect was recorded. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission advisories in the DVSA data is reassuring, but standing periods implied by the low 2024 to 2025 mileage can permit seizing calipers or flat-spotted tyres. Verify the bodywork and underbody for structural integrity, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture incipient rust beyond the test threshold.
