2011 Vauxhall Meriva 1.7L Diesel · VO11 AEB

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 100,798 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical signals across the available record. Two earlier failures on 11 March 2026 and 17 February 2025 at 100,788 and 96,480 miles respectively carry no listed defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than outstanding faults, with the vehicle passing cleanly days later on both occasions. The mileage pattern sits at a typical level for a 2011 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,720 miles per year against the 100,798 miles now recorded. From the 12 February 2024 pass at 91,942 miles to the 21 March 2025 pass at 96,487 miles the car covered 4,545 miles, then added 4,311 miles by March 2026. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear. The sparse five-entry history shows clean tests throughout, with no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's fifteen-year age and the absence of any advisory detail in the record. The repeated no-defect failures without listed faults mean the DVSA data offers no diagnostic trail on consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades, so physical checks of tread depth, suspension articulation, and binding calipers remain prudent. Previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle to a modest annual mileage with no flagged neglect, but the clean MOT slate should not substitute for a hands-on mechanical assessment.
