The VAUXHALL MERIVA (2010-13) 5DR MPV 1.3 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF SS 95 S is a compact five-door people carrier, sitting between a small hatchback and larger family MPV in the UK used-car market. Its tall cabin and flexible seating prioritise everyday practicality over sporty looks or a large-car footprint. The 1.3-litre diesel is aimed at drivers wanting modest running costs and useful range, making this Meriva suitable for commuting, school runs and families. Its unusual rear-hinged back doors open wide alongside the front doors, helping passengers get in and out and making child-seat access easier in tight parking spaces. In mycarcheck.com’s checks, this model has just one lookup, so figures are a snapshot, not a reliable market average: its recorded private-sale valuation was £2,200, mileage 100,000, annual mileage 9,000 and four previous keepers. Against rivals such as the Ford B-Max, it stands out for clever access and compact family practicality.
