2014 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · DA64 LMV

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 37,351 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean run since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five entries, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or deteriorating condition. Recorded mileage stays low for a 2014 registration. The car covered just 1,571 miles between the 3 October 2022 test at 31,589 miles and the 11 October 2023 test at 33,278 miles, then 2,502 miles to the 5 November 2024 test at 35,780 miles, and 1,571 miles to the 2025 test. Annual averages sit near 3,113 miles. The sparse, defect-free record gives little evidence of neglected consumables, though long standing periods implied by low use can age rubber bushes and brake components without showing in MOT figures. The 11 October 2023 entry shows a fail and pass on the same day at 33,278 miles with no defects listed, pointing to an administrative reversal rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still verify in person that suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers are free from age-related corrosion or binding after years of low use. Check tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots from standing, and confirm exhaust emissions remain within limits given the light running cycle. Given the clean history, no recurring structural or mechanical risks are flagged in the official data. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on hidden rust at sills and subframes and on whether fluids and brake discs show deterioration from infrequent movement rather than high mileage wear.
