2016 Vauxhall Viva 1.0L Petrol · MA16 AZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in March 2026 at 56,219 miles. The maintenance trend shows a slight shift from clean records to the emergence of consumable wear. While the car passed its previous three tests without defects, the most recent inspection identified multiple tyre-related issues, suggesting that while the mechanical components remain stable, the rubber-based items are now requiring attention. At 56,219 miles over ten years, the car averages approximately 5,600 miles per annum, which is significantly below the national average for a city car. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between each annual test from 2022 to 2026. This low-mileage profile suggests light use which typically reduces stress on the drivetrain and engine. However, long periods of relative inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, which aligns with the perishing noted in the 2026 test findings. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres. The 2026 test flagged a nearside rear tyre with perishing and cracking alongside an offside front tyre worn to the inner edge. Inner edge wear often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect camber, which should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement. Additionally, although the 2024 advisory for thin front brake pads indicates the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval, the current state of the pads and discs should be checked. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, indicating a well-maintained example of this model.
