MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Vauxhall Meriva (ET04 LNX) between July 2007 and December 2020.

The record contains 14 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 16 December 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (12 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Steering (6 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 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 Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Outer Steering rack has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering rack fitted) track ro”; “Offside Front Steering rack has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering rack fitted) inner rack arm”.
