2017 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · WS17 AEO

The 17 July 2026 MOT at 41,427 miles passed, confirming the Vauxhall Meriva is presently roadworthy, but the consistent 5.2.3 (d) (ii) tyre perishing notices indicate a stable pattern of tyre deterioration rather than improvement. Mileage has risen steadily from 20,460 miles in the July 2020 test to 41,427 miles in the July 2026 test, an increase of roughly 21,000 miles over nine years, or about 2,300 miles per year, with no evidence of large gaps or sudden surges that would suggest neglect or excessive use. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of all four tyres for tread depth, sidewall cracking and perishing, examine suspension bushes, ball joints and coil springs for wear or binding, verify that brake discs and calipers show no corrosion or binding, and check the chassis and underbody for rust or structural damage, especially around the wheel arches.
