The VAUXHALL MERIVA (2013-18) 5DR MPV 1.4I TURBO 120 EU6 EXCLUSIV is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a taller, more flexible alternative to a conventional family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical small MPVs such as the Ford B-Max and Citroën C3 Picasso, prioritising easy access and cabin usefulness over sporty looks. Its 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine gives useful pulling power for everyday journeys, while the Exclusiv trim brings a comfortable, well-equipped feel. Rear-hinged back doors open wide, making child-seat fitting and getting in and out easier in tight spaces. The Meriva suits small families, older passengers and commuters wanting a manageable car with more room and flexibility than a typical supermini. mycarcheck.com recorded 90 look-ups across 53 VINs, with average mileage of 57,000 and about two previous keepers.
