VAUXHALL MERIVA2012 · 1.7L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 83,802 miles. This test was completed without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of flagged issues across the last three successful tests suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair. The mileage is low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,986 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between 15 July 2024 and 31 July 2025, where the odometer rose from 68,114 to 83,802 miles. This indicates a period of increased activity over the last year compared to the 12,204 miles covered between August 2023 and July 2024. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no specific mechanical failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. While the record shows two failures on 1 August 2023 and 31 July 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or very minor issues resolved instantly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often degrade during periods of low usage or sudden increases in mileage. Check for perishing rubber seals and the condition of the tyre sidewalls to ensure they have not aged out. Verify the brake pedal feel and check for any signs of binding calipers, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seized components if left stationary for long intervals.
