2006 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · KP56 RBZ

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable passing trend over the last four years, though the most recent testing period indicates a momentary lapse in compliance. The October 2025 test recorded a failure on 1 October, which was rectified to achieve a pass on 3 October 2025. Prior to this, the vehicle passed consecutive tests in October 2024, October 2023, and October 2022 without any recorded defects or advisories. The recorded mileage of 68,983 miles is low for a 2006 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,449 miles per year. This pattern suggests infrequent road use. While the MOT records show no specific mileage increments for each year, the current total remains relatively low for a twenty-year-old car. This low annual usage can sometimes lead to issues with components that degrade during periods of inactivity, such as rubber seals or battery health, though the MOT record itself does not explicitly detail these aspects. Because the recent failure in October 2025 did not list specific defect details in the provided record, a physical inspection is required to identify what caused the non-compliance. A buyer should focus on checking the condition of consumables and age-related wear items that often fail on low-mileage vehicles. Specifically, examine the brake discs and pads for corrosion, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber or fatigue, and check the exhaust system for structural rust. Given the low mileage, verifying the integrity of all fluid seals and the condition of the tyres is also necessary to ensure long-term roadworthiness. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
