2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP16 EAC

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 10 June 2025 at 52,750 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across four consecutive annual tests from May 2022 to June 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent mechanical condition and no worsening faults. The recorded mileage shows unusually low use for a 2016 panel van. The tester logged 32,188 miles on 16 May 2022, then 35,496 on 23 May 2023, 36,254 on 12 June 2024, and 52,750 on 10 June 2025. The first three years added only 4,066 miles, roughly 1,350 miles per year, but the final year saw 16,496 miles accrue. This late spike suggests the van stood largely idle before a single high-use period, a pattern that can mask degraded seals, flat-spotted tyres, or corroded brake components from prolonged standing. A clean MOT ledger gives no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion to track, so no recurring defect trend exists in the official data. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs for rust pitting after the standing period, check underneath for chassis corrosion, and verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades given the age. The absence of advisories means previous keepers addressed upkeep before each test, but low mileage alone does not confirm drivetrain health.
