2010 Vauxhall Meriva 1.2L Diesel · CK60 WNL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 1 March 2023 passed with no defects recorded, suggesting the vehicle was in good mechanical order at that time. However, the record shows a history of failing tests due to avoidable electrical and wear items, indicating that previous owners often only addressed faults when necessitated by the annual inspection process. Mileage data indicates a significant increase in usage in later years of the vehicle's life. Between February 2019 and February 2021, the car covered 36,636 miles, averaging roughly 18,000 miles per year. This rate accelerated sharply between February 2021 and March 2022, where the vehicle clocked 25,527 miles in just over thirteen months. Since no mileage is recorded for the March 2023 test and the current date is July 2026, the vehicle has now gone over three years without a recorded inspection, which increases the risk of undetected wear and tear on high-mileagerelated components. A buyer should closely inspect the braking system and suspension, as these areas show recurring issues. The tester flagged thin rear brake pads in March 2022 and again in November 2015, while fluctuating discs were noted in 2015. The presence of a broken offside rear coil spring in 2016 suggests the suspension components have undergone significant stress. Given the historical oil leak noted in 2016, a thorough check of the engine bay for active leaks is essential to ensure the issue was properly rectified. The multiple failures regarding bulbs and lamps suggest the basic electrical system should be verified for intermittent faults or poor connections.
