2014 VAUXHALL MERIVA TECH LINE1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on March 20, 2025 at 88,466 miles with no defects recorded. While the history shows two previous failures, the overall maintenance trend appears reactive. The failure in November 2024 at 87,390 miles was rectified quickly to secure a subsequent pass, suggesting that the previous owner was responsive to MOT testing requirements rather than allowing faults to accumulate over time. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between October 2023 and March 2025, where the car covered over 23,000 miles in just seventeen months. Conversely, the vehicle sat relatively idle between July 2022 and October 2023, covering only 18,136 miles. This fluctuation in usage can sometimes lead to uneven wear or degradation of rubber seals and brake components which may suffer during long periods of standing. Because the record lacks specific advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. Given the age of the Meriva, close attention should be paid to control arm bushes and leaking shock absorbers, which often fail before triggering an MOT failure. The brake discs should also be examined for significant corrosion or thinness, as the record does not indicate the state of these consumable components beyond their basic functionality during the test.
