2007 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · DA56 WCJ

The Vauxhall Meriva failed its most recent MOT on 25 April 2022 at 86,355 miles, with the DVSA record showing no specific defects logged against the failure. This leaves the current roadworthiness status unverified beyond that date, and the maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving due to the absence of any subsequent test data in the four years since. The odometer stood at 86,355 miles at the 2022 failure, equating to an average of roughly 4,545 miles per year across the vehicle's nineteen years. That is low for a 2007 car and suggests either light use or extended periods off the road. The record shows no earlier tests, so we cannot trace accumulation rates or gaps; the single entry gives no basis to judge rapid mileage swings. A buyer must treat the 2022 failure as a red flag requiring physical verification. The lack of recorded defects means the failure cause is unknown, so a full inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions is essential before any purchase. Given the four-year lapse since the last test and the unknown failure reason, the vehicle may have been laid up unused. Check for corrosion, perished rubber components, and flat-spotted tyres from standing. Confirm a fresh pass and a documented defect list before committing funds.
