2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · XT12 DAN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 18 January 2026 at 134,727 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the two most recent tests resulted in zero defects. While the vehicle experienced failures in late 2023 and late 2024, the subsequent clean passes indicate that any previous mechanical or structural issues identified during those tests were addressed and rectified. The vehicle is currently meeting all safety and emission standards. The mileage profile is high for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage recorded between September 2023 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered 14,590 miles in just sixteen months. Conversely, the mileage remained almost static between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, with only 215 miles recorded over a full year. This erratic pattern suggests the vehicle was used for heavy commercial work during specific periods, which places considerable strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and undercarriage, as high-mileage vans often suffer accelerated wear on coil springs and shock absorbers. Given the previous failures, close attention must be paid to brake discs for corrosion and any structural rust on the chassis mounting points. The recent period of low usage also warrants a check for seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, or fluid leaks, which commonly occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended durations.
