2016 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · GF16 AAU

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 March 2025 at 7,992 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very little stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 800 miles per year. The record shows a steady, incremental increase in distance, moving from 5,166 miles in March 2021 to 7,992 miles in March 2025. This linear progression suggests the car has been used for short, occasional journeys rather than sitting dormant for years at a time, though the total usage remains minimal. Despite the flawless MOT history, the low mileage introduces specific mechanical risks associated with under-use. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to check for binding calipers or pitted brake discs caused by inactivity. Rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, should be checked for perishing or dry rot, as these degrade with age regardless of mileage. The lack of recorded corrosion or exhaust emissions issues in the DVSA data is positive. However, the current MOT expired in March 2026, meaning the vehicle is now out of date as of 20 July 2026. A fresh inspection is required to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy after its recent period of inactivity.
