2015 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · DL65 RNA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 15 October 2025 at 79,821 miles. While the maintenance trend appears stable, the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same test date. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial inspection but passed shortly thereafter, suggesting the previous owners addressed specific faults only when prompted by the tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,256 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 71,389 miles and the November 2024 test at 76,258 miles, the car covered 4,869 miles. A further 3,563 miles were recorded between November 2024 and October 2025. This relatively low annual usage suggests light commuting, which can occasionally lead to secondary issues like rubber-based components hardening or brake components seizing despite the low odometer reading. A prospective buyer must investigate the specific reasons for the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided data does not list the specific defects. Since the vehicle eventually passed without advisories, the issues were likely related to replaceable items such as light bulbs, tyre tread depth, or minor emission fluctuations. Given the age of the Meriva, a physical inspection of the structural integrity for corrosion and a check of the condition of suspension bushes are essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying degradation of the chassis.
