2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 2700 Sportive Cdti 1.6L Diesel · IEZ 662

The Vauxhall Vivaro 2700 Sportive CDTI presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 18 November 2023 at 148,361 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the available history, though the clean record is based on only three entries over roughly sixteen months of testing. The vehicle currently holds a valid pass, but the last test sits over two and a half years behind today's date of 8 July 2026, so its live roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from this data alone. Recorded mileage rose from 131,753 at the 17 June 2022 test to 148,361 by November 2023, an accumulation of about 16,608 miles across seventeen months and an average near 11,700 miles a year. Against the vehicle's 2016 build and ten-year age, the 148,361 total implies roughly 14,800 miles annually, which is high for a light commercial van and points to consistent hard use rather than long standing periods. The gap between the June 2022 and November 2023 tests leaves a seventeen-month window with no official record, and the only sub-year entry is the November 2023 fail-and-pass pair three days apart. The failed test on 15 November 2023 at 148,274 miles listed no defects, with the pass following on 18 November at 148,361 miles also clean. A fail with no recorded defect typically indicates an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate pass suggests no rectification work was needed on suspension, brakes, or structure. Previous owners appear to have kept the van to a basic pass standard with no advisories logged for corrosion, tyres, or consumables across the seen record. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and the two-and-a-half-year lapse since the last test. Check for undertray rust, exhaust condition, and binding calipers that a lapsed MOT cycle may have concealed. The sparse, clean history offers no red flags but provides little evidence of proactive upkeep beyond statutory compliance.
