The VAUXHALL MERIVA (2010-13) 5DR MPV 1.3 CDTI DPF 75 EXCITE LIMITED EDITION is a compact, five-door people carrier, sitting between a hatchback and a larger family MPV in the UK used-car market. Its raised, practical shape prioritises passenger space and easy access over looks, while remaining manageable around town. It suits families needing space for school runs and commuting, or drivers wanting a practical alternative to a hatchback. Mycarcheck has recorded just three checks across two VINs, so these figures are only a small snapshot: average recorded mileage is 80,000, annual use 5,000 miles, and private-sale valuation averages £2,100. The Meriva’s rear-hinged doors open backwards, making access easier in tight spaces. Against rivals such as the Ford B-Max and Citroën C3 Picasso, it stands out for flexible family-friendly packaging. This 1.3-litre diesel can suit drivers covering journeys, though economy depends on condition and use. Check service history before buying.
