2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP16 EFG

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 September 2025 at 81,630 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The only blemish is a pair of administrative fails in 2023 and 2024 where the tester recorded no defects, suggesting paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical condition. Mileage progression is consistent with typical light commercial use for a ten-year-old van. The record shows 55,341 miles on the failed and passed tests of August 2023, rising to 69,523 miles by September 2024 and 81,630 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 12,000 to 14,000 miles per year across the documented period, marginally above the lifetime average of 8,163 but not indicative of excessive strain on drivetrain or suspension components. The sparse three-year span offers limited depth, yet the absence of recorded wear items implies the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis, as MOT passes with zero advisories at this age do not guarantee freedom from early rust on sills or suspension mounting faces. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant hands-on checks despite no binding or wear being noted by testers. The twin no-defect fails in 2023 and 2024 mean the vehicle was presented twice in quick succession; verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm those were administrative rather than concealed rectification work. Given the clean trailing record, the Vivaro shows no worsening pattern and no recurring consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper blades. The low-frequency history limits longitudinal judgement, but the 2025 pass at 81,630 miles leaves the van in a sound verified state for its class and age.
