MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Vauxhall Vivaro (XTU 638E) between September 2009 and July 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 24 July 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (44 issues), Lighting (22 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Windscreen (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 64 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded from flexi back corroded as marked (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded after flexi hose corroded as marked (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded pipes from flexi hose before and after corroded as marked (1.1.11 (c))”.
