Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 15 October 2025 at 101,600 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. This suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without chronic mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 6,773 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between August 2023 and August 2024, where the odometer rose from 91,754 to 98,959 miles. Since August 2024, the vehicle has covered significantly fewer miles, adding only 2,641 miles over the following 14 months. This shift in usage pattern does not indicate any immediate mechanical concern but suggests a change in how the car is being utilised. The absence of advisories across multiple tests is unusual for a fifteen year old Vauxhall and warrants a careful physical inspection. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this era of Meriva that may not have been flagged if the car was presented in a clean state. Given the lack of recorded faults, focus your inspection on consumables. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs for pitting or lip formation. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters have been changed regularly, as the MOT record only confirms legal roadworthiness and not the internal health of the engine or the condition of the timing belt.
