2012 VAUXHALL MERIVA1.4L Petrol

The 2012 Vauxhall Meriva demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-03-07 assessment at 85,078 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s compliance history suggests it has been well-kept, with no recurring faults or escalating risks identified in the recorded data. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,077 miles annually. Tests spaced 12–14 months apart show steady mileage increases, with no prolonged gaps between assessments. The 2022-02-15 test at 65,500 miles and subsequent 2023-02-14 test at 70,521 miles reflect gradual wear, but no anomalies in the pattern. The absence of defects in all tests implies no significant mechanical degradation, though age-related components like suspension bushes or brake discs may still require closer inspection. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, which can degrade over time without visible MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often develop gradually. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the records, so a visual inspection for rust on the chassis or body panels is advisable. The vehicle’s clean MOT history supports its reliability, but physical checks on high-mileage wear items will confirm its ongoing roadworthiness.
