Brief Answer:
Only MPV is low, doesn't signify any disease or any concern.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The MPV in your results is low which means that you are having small platelets. This means that your bone marrow isn't producing enough platelets to substitute old ones which are smaller.
If this is the only parameter which is low in your CBC and everything else is within normal range you don't have to worry about it. MPV alone doesn't signify a disease or something to be concerned about.
I think there is no need to get retested or to worry about.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
