2015 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4L Petrol · YK65 PFU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 61,585 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced minor advisories regarding consumable components and brake wear. This follows several clean records between 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard without significant mechanical failures during those inspection intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, low usage, moving from 26,926 miles in September 2021 to 61,585 miles in July 2025. While low mileage typically indicates less wear on the engine and gearbox, the infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age rather than distance, which is evidenced by the specific issues identified in the latest MOT entry. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and tyres as noted in the 2025 report. The tester flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres for cracking and perishing, which indicates the rubber is becoming brittle from age despite likely having sufficient tread depth. Additionally, the rear brake discs were noted as worn. While they passed the test, they are approaching the limit requiring replacement alongside the pads. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of suspension bushes and underbody corrosion is also advisable, as low-mileage cars can suffer from dry rot and oxidation over long stationary periods.
