AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Vauxhall Meriva is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 78,475 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its tests over the last three years. A pattern of immediate re-tests is evident, with failures recorded on 10 June 2025 and 12 June 2024, though the lack of listed defects in these records suggests minor administrative or easily rectified issues rather than systemic mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered 78,475 miles over 15 years, averaging roughly 5,232 miles per year. This is low for a car of this age. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, increasing by 6,674 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, and by 6,091 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This consistency suggests the car is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across multiple years. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, a buyer should still physically inspect the underside for structural rust, as the records do not explicitly detail the condition of the chassis. Given the low annual mileage and the absence of flagged faults, the primary focus for a physical inspection should be on rubber components and fluids. Check for perished tyres or perished suspension bushings that can occur due to age regardless of mileage. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and coolant have been changed at regular intervals, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness and not internal engine health.
