2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP16 BBE

The most recent MOT on 5 December 2024 at 31,259 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy. Prior tests from October 2023, September 2022 and September 2021 also passed without defects, showing a stable condition over the last three years. A single fail entry on 29 September 2021 at the same mileage was cleared by a pass later that day, suggesting a non‑mechanical issue that was resolved immediately. Mileage has risen steadily from 25,329 miles in September 2021 to 31,259 miles in December 2024, averaging roughly 3,100 miles per year. This low annual use is consistent with the vehicle’s age and reflects limited driving or periods of storage. The test intervals are approximately twelve to fourteen months apart, with no sudden jumps in odometer reading that would indicate missed periods or clocking. Because the car has covered few miles, components that suffer from standing rather than wear merit close attention during a physical inspection. Check the brake discs and drums for surface corrosion, examine the front and rear suspension bushes for cracking or hardening, and inspect the tyres for age‑related cracking despite adequate tread depth. Also, verify the condition of the battery, coolant and brake fluid, as long intervals between use can lead to degradation of these items.
