2016 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · BX16 JRZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test in May 2025 at 43,777 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the previous test in May 2025 failed due to a seriously weakened nearside front brake disc and oil leaks, which suggests a worsening trend in brake wear and engine maintenance. The fact that the brake discs had only been worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened in the September 2024 test suggests that the problem had been developing over time. The mileage pattern is low for its age, with approximately 4,378 miles per year recorded over the past decade. There are no notable gaps in the mileage record, but it is worth noting that the vehicle has been stationary for a long period since 2019, when the mileage was 36,828 miles. The low mileage accumulation since 2019 suggests that the vehicle has been used lightly or has been standing for an extended period. A buyer should inspect the brake system in person, paying particular attention to the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the calipers and brake fluid levels. The oil leaks mentioned in the May 2025 test should also be investigated, as they may indicate a more serious problem with the engine or engine mounts. Additionally, the vehicle's suspension should be inspected for signs of wear or damage, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for an extended period. The buyer should also check the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly under the engine and in the brake system.
