2009 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · KM59 WCW

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 107,367 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern of stability. While the car failed its tests in both 2023 and 2024, the owner successfully addressed the underlying issues to achieve consecutive passes. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where faults are corrected upon failure rather than through preventative servicing. The mileage profile is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 90,136 miles and the November 2024 test at 99,307 miles, the car covered 9,171 miles. The most recent interval saw 8,060 miles leading up to the November 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which is generally preferable for maintaining seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of stationary storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the records provided do not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the vehicle's age, a close examination of the structural integrity for corrosion corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential. The inspector should also check suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, and inspect the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear, as these are common points of failure on Vauxhall models of this class.
