2018 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · SH18 YOX

The Vauxhall Vivaro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 16 May 2025 at 74,865 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 20 May 2024 test at 61,242 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 14 May 2024 at 61,241 miles where the DVSA system shows no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentation fault rather than a mechanical defect. The vehicle has shown no recurring advisories or worsening condition across its five-year MOT span. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,358 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, a typical use profile for this van. The records show a sharp accumulation between May 2023 and May 2024, jumping from 36,517 to 61,242 miles, an increase of nearly 25,000 miles in one year. That heavy period of use preceded the clean pass and the anomalous failure a week earlier. Outside that window, the early years reflect light running, with only 27,324 miles logged by May 2022. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the Vivaro's steel body and the van's age. The clean MOT history means no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions were flagged, but testers only assess visible condition on the day. Verify the brake calipers are free and check for any developing rust on chassis rails and door sills. Given the sparse but clean record, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. The 2024 failure with no defects logged points to a paperwork or lighting issue at presentation rather than deferred maintenance. Confirm service history matches the mileage jumps before purchase.
