2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP16 DNV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-29 at 72,439 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a failed test with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unreported faults. Previous tests from 2024-06-11 (64,920 miles) and 2023-06-23 (54,184 miles) were both passes with no defects, while a failed test on 2023-06-20 (same mileage) also listed no defects. The maintenance trend lacks clarity, as recurring passes and failures without recorded issues make it difficult to assess mechanical stability. The vehicle’s mileage of 72,439 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,244 miles, typical for its 10-year age. The MOTs span 2023 to 2025, with intervals of 10,000–11,000 miles between tests, reflecting standard servicing patterns. However, the 2023-06-20 failure at 54,184 miles followed by a pass just three days later at the same mileage raises questions about the accuracy of the records. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, but the lack of defect details in multiple tests limits insight into component wear. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as recurring MOTs without defect reports may mask underlying issues. Structural corrosion, especially in areas prone to road salt, should also be checked. The absence of recorded faults in recent tests does not guarantee mechanical integrity, as some issues may not be detected during MOTs.
