2005 VAUXHALL MERIVA1.7L Diesel

The Vauxhall Meriva passed its most recent MOT on 3 November 2023 at 150,303 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged. The vehicle carries a valid pass within roughly 20 months of the current date, though no test has been logged since late 2023, leaving its present roadworthiness unverified by DVSA data beyond that point. Recorded mileage sits at 150,303 against a 2005 build, equating to about 7,157 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The history shows 142,292 miles on 24 July 2021, rising to 146,131 by 18 October 2022 and 150,281 at the 20 October 2023 failure, a steady annual accumulation near 4,000 to 4,800 miles with no rapid spikes or dormant gaps. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, listing only two failures on 24 July 2021 and 20 October 2023, both with no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the Meriva of this era is prone to underbody rust unseen in a pass with zero advisories. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical checks despite the clean record, since the 2023 failure with no logged defect suggests the tester may not have captured wear items. Confirm the vehicle has covered minimal miles since November 2023 and verify a fresh test before purchase, given the lapse in official evidence.
