2013 Vauxhall Meriva 1.7L Diesel · EX63 DNN

The MOT history for this 2013 Vauxhall Meriva shows a pattern of intermittent failures followed by passes, though the most recent record from 29 September 2025 indicates the vehicle passed without any recorded defects. The record shows a recurring cycle where the vehicle fails its initial test only to pass on a subsequent retest within the same day. This pattern occurred in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting that minor issues are being identified and rectified immediately to meet minimum standards. The vehicle has covered 86,930 miles over its 13-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,687 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT testing frequency has remained regular, with annual tests recorded on 29 September 2023, 26 September 2024, and 29 September 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of non-use or neglected compliance. Because the MOT records for 2023, 2024, and 2025 list no specific advisory items or defect details during the failures, the technical cause of the previous failures remains unknown. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for binding calipers or worn discs, and examine the suspension components such as bushes and coil springs. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for structural corrosion on the underside and inspecting the exhaust system for leaks or heavy oxidation is also necessary. buying_score: 65 risk_level: Medium.
