2015 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · FN65 AEY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, as the most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 at 14,440 miles recorded a Pass with only an advisory for front‑tyre tread approaching the legal limit. All previous tests from 2018 to 2024 also returned Passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and no emerging mechanical deterioration. Mileage averages roughly 1,300 miles per year, a figure markedly lower than typical for a 2015 model. Between the 26 August 2020 test at 4,823 miles and the 1 September 2021 test at 4,965 miles the increase was modest, and subsequent yearly increments of 2,600–3,200 miles reflect consistent, light usage rather than any sudden spikes. The sparse mileage accumulation suggests the car has spent considerable periods idle or has been driven primarily for short journeys. A prospective buyer should verify the front‑tyre tread depth and confirm that replacement is imminent, as uneven wear could hint at suspension misalignment. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear‑wheel bearings for any signs of wear or corrosion, even though no faults have been recorded. Examine brake discs and pads for thickness and glazing, and conduct a thorough under‑carriage check for rust or structural fatigue, particularly given the vehicle’s long storage potential. Addressing these items will ensure the low‑mileage Meriva continues to perform reliably.
