2010 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · AG10 XSL

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 May 2025 at 109,457 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of initial failure followed by swift pass at near-identical mileage, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than progressive mechanical decline. The vehicle cleared the April 2025 and April 2024 attempts only after a prior failed attempt days earlier, both at 109,444 and 99,389 miles respectively, with no defects logged on any certificate. Recorded mileage sits at 109,457 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 6,841 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The gap between the 24 April 2023 pass at 89,974 miles and the 19 April 2024 fail at 99,389 miles shows about 9,400 miles covered in that year, then a further 10,000 miles to May 2025. The DVSA data is sparse, with every entry showing a clean defect sheet, so no consumable wear or structural corrosion has been officially documented across the visible record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is sixteen years old and the MOT merely confirms a pass on the day. The twin fail-then-pass cycles in April 2024 and April 2025, with no defects cited, imply the tester may have rejected the vehicle for minor presentation faults or undocumented items now cleared. Verify the front subframe and sills for corrosion, and confirm the odometer reading matches the logged 109,457 miles before purchase.
