2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6L Diesel · YT66 XPO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a slight decline regarding steering and braking components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 60,753 miles identified a slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint and a fluctuating nearside rear service brake. This track rod end issue was already flagged during the 2024 test at 56,133 miles, indicating that the component has not been replaced despite being noted over a year prior. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the van covered 15,510 miles, which represents a steady but low-intensity profile. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though the intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related parts. The record shows a clean pass in 2023, suggesting the vehicle was in good condition between the more problematic mechanical inspections. A buyer must personally inspect the offside front suspension thoroughly, as the recurring track rod end fault is nearing a failure point. The fluctuating nearside rear brake requires a check of disc surface condition for potential glazing or a sticking caliper, which could lead to uneven pad wear if left un. Given the 2022 failure due to multiple lighting issues and a damaged seat belt, the electrical system and the integrity of the safety webbing should be verified to ensure previous repairs were completed to professional standards. Checking the chassis for corrosion is also advised, as the MOT record does not detail structural rust despite the vehicle's age.
