2016 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · PM05 CAT

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 33,139 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean annual results since September 2022. The mileage pattern shows consistently low use for a 2016 vehicle. From the 6 September 2022 test at 20,049 miles, the car covered only 13,090 miles over the following three years, reaching 33,139 miles by August 2025. Annual increments sat around 3,000 to 5,500 miles. The DVSA record is sparse but clean; the only blemish is a failed test on 5 September 2022 at 20,049 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the next day, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low mileage does not preclude perishing rubber or surface corrosion on structural members. The absence of advisories across all tests indicates no recurring wear trends, yet the 2022 fail with no recorded defect warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA entry align before purchase.
