2017 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · LS17 AEB

The 2017 Vauxhall Viva remains roadworthy with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2026-03-03 at 23,441 miles. The maintenance trend is stable. All four tests from 2022 to 2026 recorded passes, and no mechanical or structural defects ever appeared. The only recurring entries are minor tyre perishing advisories, which show no worsening across the period. Recorded mileage sits at 23,441 miles over roughly nine years, an average of about 2,605 miles per year. The car covered just 1,174 miles between the March 2023 test at 21,267 miles and the March 2024 test at 22,894 miles, then only 323 miles to February 2025 at 23,217 miles, and 224 miles to March 2026. Such low, slowly accumulating mileage with no gaps in annual testing implies light use and likely prolonged standing periods rather than neglect of the test schedule. The repeated tyre cracking or perishing flags across all four wheels from 2024 through 2026 point to aged rubber from inactivity rather than tread wear. The tester noted wet presentation in February 2025, but no brake, suspension, or corrosion issues were raised in any entry. A buyer should still inspect the tyres in person for sidewall hardness and check brake discs and calipers for seizing after the low-mileage storage. Given the clean structural and mechanical record, the Viva shows no serious risk in the supplied history. Verify the advisories have not advanced to failures and confirm the battery, fluids, and underbody have coped with the standing time before purchase.
