The VAUXHALL MERIVA (2010-13) 5DR MPV 1.3 CDTI DPF 75 EXCLUSIV is a compact MPV, with more flexible space than a hatchback but less bulk than a full people carrier. It holds a practical, affordable place in the UK used-car market. Mycarcheck.com records 289 vehicle checks across 137 distinct VINs. Sliding rear doors that open backwards make access easier in tight parking spaces, while the cabin helps carry children, passengers or shopping. The 1.3 CDTI diesel suits commutes and family duties, though buyers should check its condition and service history. It is best for households needing versatility rather than performance. Mycarcheck.com data shows an average private-sale valuation of £1,800, average recorded mileage of 101,000 miles and annual use of 8,000 miles; the average keeper count is about three. Against Ford B-Max and Honda Jazz, the Meriva stands out for easy access and flexible packaging, a sensible used-car choice for families.
