2010 Vauxhall Meriva 1.6L Petrol · CY10 HCU

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 April 2026 at 56,767 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 4 March 2025 at 54,450 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories or faults. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 2010 registered vehicle. From the 9 February 2023 test at 47,939 miles, the car covered just 8,828 miles over the following three years, averaging under 3,000 miles annually. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans nearly a year with only 3,026 miles added, and the 2025 to 2026 period added 2,317 miles. Such low accumulation relative to age suggests prolonged standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The single failure on 3 March 2025 at 54,449 miles listed no defects, with the vehicle passing one day later at 54,450 miles; this points to an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity appear across the five-year record, so the history itself reveals no recurring wear trends requiring concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe given the low mileage and likely static storage, as MOT passes do not capture incipient rust. Verify the condition of tyres and brake calipers for flat spots or seizing after standing, and confirm service history to validate that fluids and cambelt intervals were observed despite the limited use.
