2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP17 SVN

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 44,718 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding pass on 9 October 2024 at 38,178 miles also showed a clean sheet. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or recurring-defect cycle. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2017 panel van at roughly 4,969 miles per year. The odometer moved from 37,964 miles at the November 2023 tests to 38,176 miles at the October 2024 failure, then 38,178 miles the next day on the pass, and reached 44,718 miles by December 2025. This reflects light use with a long static period between late 2023 and late 2024, followed by moderate accumulation. The MOT data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or emissions concerns logged. The two failed tests on 3 November 2023 and 8 October 2024 recorded no defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still verify in person that the van has not suffered from standing-related degradation such as seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, or underbody corrosion masked by the clean record. Given the low mileage and absence of advisories, focus a physical inspection on structural integrity beneath the sills and wheel arches, check brake binding after a short road test, and confirm the service history covers cambelt and fluid intervals. The MOT alone shows no red flags but does not substitute for a hands-on check of consumables and dormant wear.
