2015 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · MM65 UKP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a recurring pattern of immediate retest failures. The most recent test on 7 January 2026 at 88,464 miles was a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior. This sequence suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing minor compliance issues to secure a certificate. The lack of long-term advisories across the last three years indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently performing within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old light commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between January 2024 at 71,601 miles and January 2025 at 80,448 miles, the vehicle covered 8,147 miles, followed by another 8,016 miles leading up to the January 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive strain from long haulage, though the low annual mileage can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific reasons for the failures in January 2025 and 2026. While the record does not list the specific faults, these rapid-fire failures often involve minor items like light bulbs, wiper blades, or slight fluid leaks that require immediate rectification. Given the age of the Vivaro, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody and the condition of the suspension bushes remains essential, as the MOT history does not explicitly rule out thinning metal or worsening mechanical wear between test intervals.
