2016 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · LB65 XDV

The 2026‑03‑09 MOT at 40,358 miles confirms the Vauxhall Meriva remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded. All previous tests from 2022 through 2025 also passed without any listed failures, indicating a stable maintenance record and no evidence of worsening or improving mechanical condition. The vehicle is ten years old and has accumulated 40,358 miles, roughly 4,036 per year, which is low for its age and suggests light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 30,432 miles in the January 2022 test to 34,708 miles in the March 2023 test, a 4,276‑mile increase, and each subsequent year added about 1,000 to 1,500 miles, showing a steady, low‑intensity driving pattern with no abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, check structural areas such as wheel arches and chassis for rust, verify exhaust condition and emissions compliance, and assess tyre tread depth and wear patterns, as the record shows no recorded faults but older components may still require attention. Low mileage indicates careful ownership, yet a thorough in‑person inspection of the highlighted mechanical items is essential to confirm the absence of hidden wear or corrosion before purchase.
