2017 Vauxhall Meriva Tech Line 1.4L Petrol · SIG 9758

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 28,764 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a period of clean testing that maintained consistent standards despite a single failure in April 2023. The mechanical trend indicates the vehicle has remained in a compliant state, suggesting that any previous issues were promptly addressed and have not evolved into a recurring mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per annum. There is a noticeable gap in usage between May 2022 and February 2024, where the car covered only 4,420 miles in twenty months, followed by a more recent increase of 7,553 miles between February 2024 and February 2026. Such low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can occasionally lead to degradation of rubber components and brake hardware from inactivity. Given the low annual mileage mileage, a physical inspection should focus on signs of long-term standing rather than wear and tear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for seizing, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized brakes. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the tyres for flat spotting or age-related per beyond tread depth. While the 2023 failure was not detailed in the record provided, the subsequent clean passes suggest the core structural integrity and primary systems remain sound.
