2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP16 DHO

The Vauxhall Vivaro passed its most recent MOT on 2 August 2024 at 73,171 miles with no defects recorded, and the overall maintenance trend appears stable given the absence of advisories or failures in the latest test. Prior to that pass, the vehicle showed a pattern of administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults, with tests on 2 August 2024, 9 July 2024, and 15 May 2023 all recording failures with no defects listed. This suggests the roadworthiness is sound, though the repeated no-defect failures point to documentation or test-process issues rather than worsening condition. Mileage sat at 59,631 on 15 May 2023 and rose to 72,479 by 9 July 2024, an addition of 12,848 miles over roughly fourteen months, then held at 73,171 for the August 2024 tests. Against a ten-year life and 73,171 total miles, the average of about 7,300 miles per year is typical, with no rapid accumulation or long standing gaps evident in the record. The sparse history shows clean passes and no advisories, so consumable wear data such as tyre tread or brake disc thickness is not captured in the official entries. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers in person, as the MOT record provides no insight into wear on these components. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions were not flagged, but corrosion checks on sills and chassis should be made given the van's age. The recurring no-defect failures imply previous owners may have presented the vehicle without addressing non-mechanical test requirements, so verify V5C and test certificate accuracy before purchase.
