2015 Vauxhall Meriva 1.6L Diesel · CX65 VPF

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 March 2026 at 85,730 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester recorded no defects at that examination. This clean result follows a failed test on 20 March 2026 at 85,723 miles where, unusually, the DVSA entry shows no defects listed against the failure, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. The record shows 68,512 miles in October 2023, rising to 77,031 by October 2024, then 85,730 by March 2026. The annual accumulation of about 8,500 miles is consistent and shows no sudden spikes or prolonged dormant periods that would raise concern over drivetrain fatigue or standing corrosion. The repeated fail-pass pattern in both 2023 and 2026, with no advisories or defects logged, gives the buyer little to act on from the documentary trail alone. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion appear in the data. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests implies either diligent upkeep or, more likely, that testers omitted minor wear notes rather than the car being fault-free. A purchaser should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and brake component condition given the age. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures with the test stations, as the entries are anomalous. Otherwise, the Meriva's MOT record supports a sound mechanical baseline at 85,730 miles.
