VAUXHALL MERIVA2013 · 1.7L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 07 August 2025 at 96,064 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five annual tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle proactively, addressing any mechanical or structural issues before they could result in an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for light to moderate commuting, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between August 2022 (42,506 miles) and August 2025 (96,064 miles), the car covered over 53,000 miles, showing a significant increase in usage compared to the earlier years where it covered fewer than 11,000 miles annually. The lack of significant gaps in the testing history indicates the vehicle has remained in regular use, which often helps prevent the dry-rot of seals and brakerelated corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Vauxhall Meriva of this age. Given the recent increase in mileage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven thinning or binding calipers, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than overall component health. Inspect the chassis for surface surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
