2016 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · DP66 ABF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 19 November 2025 with no recorded defects, indicating a stable mechanical condition at the time of the last inspection. While the record shows immediate re-tests following initial failures in both 2023 and 2025, the absence of specific advisory notes suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than significant component failures. The current status reflects a vehicle that has successfully cleared its most recent regulatory assessment, suggesting the core systems were compliant eight months ago. At 97,960 miles over a ten-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 9,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of MPV. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, showing an increase of roughly 8,200 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and a further 8,250 miles leading up to the most recent test in late 2025. This steady progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which often helps prevent the issues associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these components frequently show wear at this mileage threshold. Although the MOT history is clean, check the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes for signs of fatigue or play, as these are common failure points on the Meriva platform. Inspect the brake discs for excessive pitting or scoring that might have been overlooked during the test, and verify the structural integrity of the sills and floor pan for any signs of surface corrosion. Given the lack of detailed advisory data, a thorough test drive is essential to confirm that the steering remains responsive and the drivetrain operates without abnormal noise or vibration.
