2014 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · WN64 UPX

The 2025‑09‑30 MOT at 49,490 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Vauxhall Meriva remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record has been stable throughout its recent history. The mileage trajectory shows a low annual average of roughly 4,124 miles for a 12‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting limited use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 27,489 miles in March 2022 to 34,826 miles by October 2023, then to 42,372 miles in September 2024, before reaching 49,490 miles in September 2025; the modest increase between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates consistent, moderate annual usage rather than rapid accumulation. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely without binding, and examine the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear. Visual checks for structural rust on the chassis, particularly around the wheel arches and underbody, are advisable, as are assessments of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. Finally, the absence of any recorded defects across five consecutive tests suggests that previous owners have addressed wear items such as tyres and wiper blades, but a thorough in‑person evaluation of the mechanical components listed above remains essential before purchase.
