2012 Vauxhall Meriva 1.2L Diesel · OU12 ACF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 110,967 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day which listed no faults. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor re-test requirement was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet since April 2022. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the 88,662 miles recorded in May 2022 and 110,967 miles in May 2025, the car covered 22,305 miles over three years. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and mechanical components. The intervals between MOT tests are remarkably regular, suggesting the owner has followed a standard annual maintenance schedule. Because the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical advisories or structural failures, a physical inspection should focus on common Vauxhall wear points for this age and mileage. A buyer should check the suspension bushes for perished and inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly on the rear subframe members. Given the 110,000-mile mark, verifying the condition of the brake lines and the thickness of the discs is also essential, as the record does not explicitly track binding calipers or component degradation beyond immediate failure thresholds.
