2004 Vauxhall Meriva 1.6L Petrol · KG04 CDN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record for the last three years. The most recent test on June 4 2025 at 85,964 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that since the failure in early March 2022, the owner has maintained the car to a standard that meets all safety and emissions requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over time, such as the 16,408 miles covered between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 7,333 miles between April 2024 and June 2025. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid breakdown due to extended periods of sitting. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection for age-related issues that the stationary test does not capture. Focus on the chassis and structural integrity for corrosion corrosion, particularly on the sills and wheel arches, which are common in Vauxhall models of this era. Inspect the suspension bushes and brake hoses for cracking or perishing, as these components degrade over decades regardless of limited mileage. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the braking surfaces.
