2016 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · NK16 TMV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite its very low usage. The most recent test on December 10 2025 at 14,972 miles passed with a minor advisory for a cut on the offside front tyre. This represents an improvement from the previous year where both front tyres were flagged for excessive wear, but the overall mechanical integrity and structural components has remained consistent across the testing period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 7,708 miles and December 2025 at 14,972 miles, the car covered only 7,264 miles. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to secondary degradation such as perished rubber components, seized seals, or corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular use. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres and suspension alignment, as the December 2024 advisory regarding edge wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres suggests a potential tracking issue or worn bushes. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized from periods of inactivity. The chassis should also be inspected for early corrosion, although the MOT record shows no structural failures to date.
