2009 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · LC59 KPL

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by four consecutive passes without recorded defects. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 53,361 miles confirms that the car currently meets the required safety standards. The single failure recorded on 11 November 2022 appears to be an administrative or testing anomaly, as the vehicle passed successfully the following day without any repairs noted, suggesting no underlying mechanical failure occurred at that time. With a total of 53,361 miles over 17 years, the vehicle averages approximately 3,139 miles annually. This low-mileage profile indicates light usage, though it often correlates with long periods of inactivity. The lack of recurring advisories for items like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion is encouraging for a vehicle of this age. The consistent testing pattern over the last four years demonstrates that the car has remained in active service and has not been left to deteriorate in storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically degrade through age rather than high mileage. Inspect the underside for signs of structural corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods can develop surface rust on the subframe and brake lines. Examine the condition of the tyres for age-related perishing or sidewall cracking, even if the tread depth remains sufficient. While the MOT history is clean, verify the status of the timing belt, as this component is time-sensitive and often overlooked in cars with minimal annual usage.
