VAUXHALL MERIVA2016 · 1.4L Petrol

This Vauxhall Meriva presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 111,291 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,129 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2024 and September 2025, where the odometer rose from 94,997 to 111,291 miles. This indicates a period of heavier use over the last twelve months. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 25 September 2023 and 17 September 2024, though the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or very minor issues rectified instantly. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of high wear components. At 111,291 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts often show fatigue that does not always trigger an MOT failure. Checking for any signs of oil leaks or coolant seepage is advisable given the age and mileage. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or brake wear is positive. However, the buyer should verify the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the tyres, as these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. A road test should focus on the smoothness of the gearbox and the absence of any knocks from the suspension to ensure the mechanical condition matches the clean paperwork.
