2006 Vauxhall Meriva 1.7L Diesel · AF56 LCW

The Vauxhall Meriva shows a current roadworthy status following the November 2021 test pass at 156,453 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable on paper given the absence of recorded defects. The most recent examination on 20 November 2021 returned a clean pass, though the prior day's failure at 156,451 miles listed no defects, a pattern consistent with an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 20 years old the vehicle carries 156,453 miles, equating to about 7,823 miles per year which sits within typical use for a 2006 supermini-MPV. The recorded history is sparse, showing only the two November 2021 entries two miles apart, so no meaningful mileage accumulation or gap can be assessed across the wider lifespan. A buyer should note the last test is now over four and a half years old relative to today's date, leaving the intervening period entirely unverified by MOT data. Given the clean pass and lack of advisories in the supplied record, no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues are flagged for this vehicle. The absence of flagged items such as worn bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust concerns suggests the tester found no immediate roadworthiness risks at 156,453 miles. In person, a buyer should still commission a independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear, as the Meriva's age invites hidden rust at sills and subframes plus degraded suspension components unseen by a pass with no advisories. The stale four-year-old test means current tyre condition, brake disc thickness, and emissions cannot be assumed from this history alone.
