2015 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · SW15 AWA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 26 June 2025 at 18,233 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating that the car remains in a good condition. This stable trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five inspection cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,658 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2024, the car covered only 1,909 miles, suggesting very infrequent use or long storage periods. A notable increase in usage occurred between July 2024 and June 2025, where the vehicle clocked 9,303 miles in just under a year. While this represents a shift in usage patterns, the total mileage remains well below typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must account for risks associated with low-mileage operation. Long periods of standing can lead to flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber components, and seized brake calipers. The inspector should specifically check the condition of the brake discs for corrosion and test the fluid integrity after the recent 9,000-mile spike in usage. Additionally, suspension bushes and rubber seals should be inspected for cracking, as these materials degrade over time through environmental exposure regardless of the miles driven.
