2018 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · J66 YCP

The Vauxhall Viva presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 38,966 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry on the same date at 38,964 miles shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately corrected by the passing test later that day. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 26,654 miles in March 2023, 31,018 in March 2024, 35,576 in February 2025, and 38,966 in February 2026. That averages roughly 4,100 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or dormant gaps. Clean passes across all five entries with zero advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion suggest the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the clear history. Low annual use and the same-day fail-pass in February 2026 warrant checking brake calipers for binding after standing, and inspecting coil springs and subframe mounts for corrosion or fatigue from intermittent operation. Verify the test station corrected no underlying issue behind the initial failure. Confirm the odometer reading matches the 38,966 miles logged and review service invoices for fluid changes. The MOT record alone shows no structural or mechanical risk, but independent verification of underside condition remains prudent before purchase.
