2014 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · FP14 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record since its last failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 August 2025 at 69,798 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed any necessary requirements promptly to keep the vehicle in transitable without recurring faults. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 69,798 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,800 miles. The usage pattern appears consistent, with an increase of roughly 3,500 miles between the August 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 4,700 miles between September 2023 and August 2024. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or internal corrosion in braking lines. The single failure recorded on 19 August 2022 at 54,407 miles is the only outlier in the history. While the specific reason for that failure is not detailed in the summary, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests a straightforward repair. A prospective buyer should still inspect the physical condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these can perish from age over over a decade regardless of low mileage. Additionally, checking the brake discs for pitting and the exhaust system for signs of developed corrosion is advisable to ensure that the low usage has not resulted in seized calipers or structural thinning.
