Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400 and average recorded mileage of 117,000 miles; typical annual mileage is 5,000, with roughly four previous keepers. These figures describe examples, not guaranteed condition or price. The 1.8-litre petrol engine offers brisker response, while its compact footprint and flexible cabin suit school runs, shopping and commuting. It suits families or downsizers wanting easy access and space. Against the Ford Fusion and Honda Jazz, the Meriva’s adaptable layout stands out; check service history and condition before buying.
