2010 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · LT60 LLJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 28 June 2025 with 112,531 miles and no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years, as the vehicle overcame failures in both 2023 and 2024. The transition from failed tests to a clean pass suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues once they are identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There was a significant spike in usage of 14,173 miles between the July 2023 test at 70,191 miles and the June 2024 test at 84,364 miles. Following this, the mileage increased by 28,167 miles over the year leading up to the June 2025 inspection. This recent acceleration in driving frequency often accelerates wear on suspension components and braking components typical of an older-model Meriva. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the previous failures in 2023 and 2024. While the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures, the recurring nature of defects necessitates a close inspection of suspension bushes, control arms, and brake caliper condition. Given the vehicle's age and recent mileage increase, a check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframes is essential to ensure that the clean MOT result is not masking underlying rust.
