2015 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · AF65 XRA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 70,459 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows several consecutive clean passes, indicating that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting DVSA safety standards without the recurring failures often seen in poorly maintained vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between July 2021 and June 2025, the car covered 36,307 miles, showing a steady usage rate without long periods of neglect or sudden rapid accumulation. This low-intensity usage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts, though the lack of advisories since 2022 implies the previous owner has been proactive in addressing wear items before they trigger failures. A buyer should note the specific failure recorded during the July 2021 test at 34,152 miles, where all four tyres were flagged for being near the legal limit and cracking. While this issue appears resolved as evidenced by the clean records that followed, a physical inspection should verify the current state of the tyres for rot and tread depth. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check for signs of rubber component degradation, such as suspension bushes and perished, which can occur over eleven years even if the vehicle is not driven frequently.
