2012 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · SM12 AAF

This vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 150,107 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and clean, as the record shows no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. The absence of flagged faults suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 10,722 miles per year. There is a significant and irregular jump in recorded mileage between March 2025 and March 2026. The vehicle was recorded at 104,476 miles on 11 March 2025, but jumped to 150,107 miles by the following year. This represents an accumulation of nearly 46,000 miles in twelve months, which is substantially higher than the long term average and indicates a period of very heavy use. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of high wear components. The rapid mileage increase over the last year puts additional strain on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts. You should check for any signs of oil leaks or drivetrain wear that a standard MOT might not flag as a failure. Pay close attention to the brake discs and pads, as the high annual mileage likely accelerated the wear of these consumables. Inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as this is a common vulnerability for vehicles of this age and make. While the record shows no defects, a manual check of the tyre tread and depth is advised given the recent heavy usage.
