The VAUXHALL MERIVA (2013-18) 5DR MPV 1.6 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF SS 136 EU6 EXCLUSIV 6SPD is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a more upright, flexible alternative to a conventional family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among small MPVs such as the Ford B-Max and Citroën C3 Picasso. Its 1.6-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit longer commutes and family journeys, while Ecoflex stop-start aims to reduce fuel use. The Meriva is best for parents and practical-minded drivers who value easy access and adaptable passenger space; its distinctive rear doors open backwards, making it easier to get children in and out in tight parking spaces. mycarcheck.com recorded 99 checks across 52 different VINs, providing a useful sample.
