2010 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · AF10 VWU

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 23 April 2024 at 139,532 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in April 2023 and April 2022 also passed with no advisories, indicating no worsening mechanical faults across the recorded period. The mileage stands at 139,532 miles against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 8,721 miles per year which is typical for the vehicle's age. The records show 132,483 miles on 30 April 2022, 136,023 miles on 24 April 2023, and 139,532 miles on 23 April 2024, reflecting consistent annual use of around 3,500 to 4,500 miles with no sudden accumulation or long dormant gaps. The clean history across these dates suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing without lapse. A notable anomaly appears on 24 April 2023 when the car first failed at 136,018 miles with no defects logged, then passed later that same day at 136,023 miles with no defects recorded. This pattern implies an administrative or data-entry irregularity at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault, and the buyer should confirm with the DVSA that no suppressed advisory exists for that date. Given the absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or binding brakes throughout the history, no specific component demands urgent investigation from the record alone. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's sixteen-year age, as MOT passes without advisories do not certify components nearing wear limits.
