Our Verdict
This Vauxhall Meriva is a solid option for those seeking a practical MPV with a relatively clean recent MOT record. While it has seen one minor failure in its history, the most recent tests show no defects recorded.
When inspecting this 1.4L petrol Meriva, focus on the service history to see how the 1398cc engine has been maintained between MOT intervals. Since the most recent MOT in September 2025 showed no defects, look for evidence of routine maintenance such as oil changes and brake inspections.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has one recorded MOT failure from January 2024. While the failure itself had no specific defects listed in this summary, it is worth asking the seller what work was carried out to rectify the issue immediately following that test.
The 1398cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it suitable for various driver profiles. Fuel economy for this model type is typically average for a compact MPV, balancing cabin space with engine efficiency.
Maintenance costs for a Vauxhall of this age are expected to be standard for the UK market. You should budget for regular consumables like tyres, wipers, and brake pads, alongside the annual MOT and servicing requirements.
Given the MOT history, pay close attention to the components that typically cause failures in small MPVs, such as lighting, wipers, and tyre tread depth, even though no defects were noted in the 2025 test.
Specifically, check the condition of the silver paintwork for any signs of age-related wear and ensure all electrical components for the 1.4L engine management system are functioning correctly. Although the 2024 failure did not specify a defect in the summary, a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system is always recommended for a vehicle with 60,723 miles.
This silver 2017 Vauxhall Meriva has covered 60,723 miles since its first registration in January 2017. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent two passing without any recorded defects. The vehicle's mileage is consistent with its age, and the record indicates a pattern of regular testing.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to establish a specific reliability reputation for the Vauxhall Meriva.
