2016 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · FG16 YPO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing history. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2026 at 86,648 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting that the current owner maintains an effective inspection schedule and addresses mechanical issues before they escalate into recurring test failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 58,960 miles and March 2025 at 77,061 miles, the car covered roughly 18,000 miles, followed by another 9,500 miles leading to the February 26 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular operation, meaning the vehicle does not appear to suffer from long periods of standing, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and internal fluid oxidation. While the recent records are clean, the buyer should note the failure recorded in March 2024 at 67,874 miles. Although the specific reason for that failure is not detailed in the provided summary, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a straightforward component replacement or adjustment. A physical inspection should still focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and brake components, as these are common points of wear on Merivas at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the chassis for corrosion on the sills and sub will ensure the structural integrity remains sound beyond the clean MOT results.
