2010 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · SD60 UEX

The Vauxhall Meriva presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 5 August 2025 at 151,287 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in June 2024 at 146,703 miles and March 2023 at 144,030 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 9 March 2023 at 144,026 miles, logged with no defects recorded, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 144,030 miles, indicating an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,455 miles against the car's 16-year life, a typical usage rate for a 2010 vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 138,208 miles in March 2022, 144,030 by March 2023, 146,703 in June 2024, and 151,287 by August 2025. A thirteen-month gap separates the 2024 and 2025 tests versus the twelve-month norm, but the 4,584 miles added over that span confirms regular use rather than prolonged standing. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 151,287 miles on the clock, as MOT passes with no advisories do not capture wear below test thresholds. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants physical checks, since the Meriva's platform is prone to rust in later life. The same-day fail and pass in March 2023 should be verified on the DVSA portal to confirm no omitted defect data.
