2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP16 CWV

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 106,646 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in October 2024, February 2024, and December 2022 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening condition across its recorded history. Recorded mileage sits at 106,646 against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 10,665 miles per year, which is typical for this age of light commercial vehicle. The step from 63,597 miles in December 2022 to 75,380 miles in February 2024 shows light use over that winter. A sharper rise to 96,033 miles by October 2024 and then 106,646 by September 2025 indicates around 10,600 miles added in the final year. The MOT data is sparse with no flagged wear items, so no consumption pattern can be inferred beyond the odometer. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the van's age and commercial duty cycle. The clean record offers no evidence of corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet standing periods between the 2022 and 2024 tests can allow underbody rust to develop unseen by the tester. Verify the September 2025 fail-pass pair with the DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables fall outside the advisory-free record. The previous owner appears to have maintained statutory testing without neglect, but a clean MOT is not a substitute for a workshop survey of drivetrain and chassis components.
