2014 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · EN14 APO

The MOT history for this Vauxhall Meriva shows a test frequency spanning eight recorded events, concluding with a pass on October 22, 2025 at 42,777 miles. The maintenance trend reflects persistent wear on consumable components rather than catastrophic structural failure, though the record contains a failure on October 25, 2024 due to heavily perished rear tyres. Advisories from the 2024 test also flagged thin rear brake pads and edge-worn front tyres, while the subsequent 2025 test noted pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside the same thinning wear pattern. These recurring items indicate that routine consumable upkeep is required, shifting from rubber degradation toward friction material wear in the final year. The recorded mileage sits at 42,777 miles across a vehicle age of roughly twelve years, averaging about 3,565 miles annually. This low annual mileage reflects light usage, punctuated by consistent autumn test dates occurring annually between October 2021 and October 2025, following earlier tests in July 2019 and February 2021. Low mileage accumulation can sometimes lead to prolonged periods of standing, which correlates directly with the perishing and cracking observed on both front and rear tyres across multiple tests from 2022 through 2024. Prospective buyers must thoroughly inspect the physical condition of the braking system and tyre sidewalls during a physical viewing. The 2025 test specifically highlighted worn, pitted, and scored rear brake discs, building upon previous warnings regarding thin rear brake pads. Furthermore, the recurring tyre degradation from age-related perishing means the tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres require close scrutiny to verify if replacements have been recently fitted to resolve the past advisories.
