2017 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · FP17 TYZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-07-17 at 86,711 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-07-10 at 86,709 miles failed without any defects noted, suggesting potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 showed similar patterns, with passes and failures occurring at nearly identical mileages. This lack of clear mechanical issues in the records indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the repeated failures without recorded defects raises questions about the reliability of the MOT process for this vehicle. The mileage of 86,711 miles over nine years equates to an average of 9,635 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history reveals consistent annual testing, with minimal gaps between assessments. The 2023 test at 60,254 miles and the 2024 test at 76,245 miles show a steady increase of 16,000 miles, followed by a similar jump to 86,709 miles by 2025. This pattern suggests regular use but no abrupt spikes in mileage that might indicate neglect or excessive wear. The absence of defects in the pass entries implies no critical mechanical failures, though the repeated failures without recorded issues remains unexplained. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as recurring MOT failures often correlate with brake-related advisories. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion can develop over time. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the lack of detailed defect reports necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the recorded data.
