2016 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · PY16 RVF

The Vauxhall Meriva remains roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 November 2025 at 63,396 miles, though the maintenance trend is not entirely stable. The latest test surfaced worn front tyres on the inner edges and front brake discs worn but not excessively, continuing a brake disc advisory first raised in November 2024. A broken offside rear coil spring caused a failure on 11 November 2024 at 56,592 miles before the same-day retest pass, indicating a suspension fault was corrected promptly but had been allowed to develop. The recorded mileage shows light annual use for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,340 miles per year. The odometer climbed from 37,785 miles in November 2022 to 47,408 in November 2023, then 56,592 in November 2024, and 63,396 by November 2025, a consistent ~9,000 to 10,000 miles annually with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The early history is sparse and clean aside from a nail in the nearside rear tyre noted in 2022, suggesting the car was reasonably cared for before the 2024 suspension failure. A buyer should physically inspect the front brake discs for scoring or lip wear, as the tester flagged them in both 2024 and 2025, and verify the replacement of the offside rear coil spring following the 2024 fracture. Examine the front tyres closely for inner-edge wear matching the 2025 advisory, and check the rear suspension bushes and remaining coil spring for fatigue or corrosion. The 2023 clean test and low overall mileage imply no major structural concerns, but a visual underbody check for rust remains prudent on a 2016 unit.
