2017 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · DA67 SNZ

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 34,690 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 14 October 2024 at 31,692 miles confirms no advisories or mechanical faults have accumulated across the recorded history. The mileage pattern shows very low use for a 2017 vehicle. From the 23 October 2023 test at 27,772 miles to the 14 October 2024 test at 31,692 miles the car covered just 3,920 miles, then 2,998 miles to the October 2025 test at 34,690 miles, averaging roughly 3,850 miles per year overall. The DVSA record is sparse, with only three annual entries and two same-day failures in 2023 and 2024 that list no defects, implying administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still verify the vehicle in person given the low standing mileage. Prolonged inactivity risks perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs or binding calipers that a short test drive may not expose. The clean record offers no flagged structural integrity concerns, but inspect underneath for corrosion and check fluid condition. Given the two failed tests recorded no defects, the history suggests the car was lightly maintained by an owner who avoided consumable neglect, yet the sparse data means a pre-purchase inspection of exhaust emissions, steering, and chassis remains prudent.
