2010 Vauxhall Meriva 1.7L Diesel · NV60 BCZ

The vehicle achieved a PASS on the most recent MOT dated 2024‑11‑07 at 132 330 miles, although a concurrent FAIL was recorded at 132 329 miles on the same day, indicating a retest that cleared the underlying issue. The annual pattern of a PASS followed by a FAIL each November, with no defects logged, points to a stable maintenance regime rather than a worsening condition. The absence of progressive fault accumulation suggests the car has been kept serviceable through routine repairs. Mileage accumulation shows roughly 8 300 miles per year over the 16‑year lifespan, a figure that aligns with typical usage for a 2010 Vauxhall Meriva. The MOT entries are spaced yearly in early November, with mileage increments of about 8 000–10 000 miles between tests (114 281 mi in 2022, 122 376 mi in 2023, 132 330 mi in 2024). The record is complete, with no significant gaps in the data. A buyer should inspect the brakes for pad wear, disc condition and any caliper binding, as the retest in 2024 may have involved these components. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for corrosion or excessive wear, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Tyre tread depth and even wear patterns are essential to verify, as is the condition of the exhaust system, including mounting brackets and any rust. Finally, a visual check of the underbody and wheel arches for structural corrosion will reveal whether long‑term exposure has compromised the car’s integrity.
