VAUXHALL MERIVA2016 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-04 at 75,532 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. Prior tests from 2024-11-14 (67,721 miles) and 2023-11-21 (58,497 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a duplicate entry for 2023-11-21 shows a failed test at the same mileage, though no defects were logged. This inconsistency may reflect a data error, but the absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests implies any issues were resolved. Overall, the vehicle has demonstrated reliability in recent years. The mileage of 75,532 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,553 miles, typical for a 10-year-old vehicle. MOTs have been conducted approximately annually since 2022, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The 2022-10-31 test at 49,852 miles marked the earliest recorded entry, showing no defects. While the data is clean and consistent, the lack of detailed fault reports limits insight into potential wear patterns. Regular servicing appears to have been maintained, though the absence of specific mechanical notes means further inspection is advised. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the vehicle’s age. The braking system, including brake discs and calipers, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these components often degrade over time. Additionally, the exhaust system and structural integrity warrant scrutiny, as minor issues in these areas may not trigger MOT failures but could affect long-term reliability. The 2023 failed test’s unresolved nature also suggests verifying that all prior concerns were fully addressed.
