Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage, petrol-powered MPV. The consistent MOT pass record without defects suggests a vehicle that has met minimum regulatory standards consistently over the last four years.
When inspecting this Meriva, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as the MOT only tests specific safety and environmental items. Check for a consistent oil change interval, which is vital for the 1398cc petrol engine.
Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects, you should still manually inspect the wear items that often fall between tests, such as brake pad thickness, tyre tread depth, and the condition of the windscreen wipers. Given the vehicle's age, check the condition of any rubber seals and ensure the air conditioning system is functioning correctly.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for many drivers. Fuel economy for this model typically offers a reasonable balance for a small MPV, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for Vauxhall models are generally predictable in the UK market due to the availability of parts. You should budget for routine servicing, brake replacements, and tyre changes. The estimated annual running cost is reflective of average petrol usage and standard maintenance requirements.
Based on the provided MOT history, there have been no recorded failures for items like brakes, tyres, or lights. However, you should perform a physical check of the suspension components and exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear that may not have triggered a failure yet.
As this is a white vehicle, inspect the bodywork carefully for any signs of previous repairs or paint mismatch that might not be documented. Additionally, check the interior switchgear and electronic components, such as the infotainment system and electric windows, to ensure everything operates smoothly.
Registered in January 2017, this white Vauxhall Meriva has covered 47,540 miles, which is relatively low for a vehicle of its age. The MOT history shows a clean run from 2022 through to December 2025, with no recorded failures or advisories across the four most recent tests. This specific 1.4L petrol variant offers a balance of engine size and economy for urban and family use.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Meriva to provide a statistical trend.
