2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · WO65 DVG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 99,694 miles passed, the tester flagged thinning front brake pads and pitted rear brake discs. This follows a recurring pattern of rear disc corrosion noted in 2023 at 83,648 miles, suggesting that the owner is delaying component replacement until parts approach the failure threshold. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady progression with roughly 8,500 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 8,500 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular usage suggests a predictable wear pattern, though the failure in December 2022 due to a sub-legal nearsside front tyre indicates a period where basic safety equipment checks were neglected between annual inspections. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension geometry. The recurring mentions of scored and pitted discs indicate the calipers may be sticking or that the vehicle spends significant time in damp environments, accelerating corrosion. Given the edge wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2024, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and tracking arm ball alignment is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not prematurely consuming new tyres, which is common on the Vivaro at this mileage.
