Vauxhall Meriva 1.4T 16V Excite MPV 5dr Petrol Manual Euro 5 (120 ps) AFFORDABLE FAMILY CAR

Introduction

We are delighted to present this 2011 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4T Excite, a versatile and practical MPV that combines family-friendly usability with economical running costs. Finished in an attractive blue and offered with a genuine 68,376 miles on the clock, this five-door model is the perfect choice for buyers seeking space, comfort, and dependability in one well-rounded package.

Engine & Performance

Under the bonnet, you will find a punchy yet efficient 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing an ample 118 bhp. Paired with a slick five-speed manual gearbox, this Meriva delivers a responsive and engaging driving experience, whether you are navigating urban streets or cruising on the motorway. The turbocharged unit provides flexible performance across the rev range, with maximum torque arriving from just 1,750 rpm, making for relaxed and stress-free progress.

Despite its performance credentials, this Vauxhall remains remarkably frugal. The combined fuel economy figure of 46.3 mpg helps keep running costs impressively low, while CO2 emissions of 143 g/km place it in a sensible tax bracket. This blend of capability and efficiency makes it an outstanding choice for families and daily commuters alike.

Exterior & Design

The Meriva's stylish blue bodywork is complemented by the practical design features that make this model so popular. Its clever rear-hinged rear doors, inspired by traditional coach doors, provide superb access to the cabin, making it effortless to secure children into their seats or load bulky items. The elevated driving position offers excellent visibility, giving you confidence on every journey.

This Excite trim level includes a comprehensive array of exterior features that enhance both form and function. The vehicle sits on well-proportioned alloy wheels and presents itself in honest, well-maintained condition for its age. The five-door layout ensures hassle-free access for passengers and luggage alike.

Interior & Comfort

Step inside, and you will discover a cabin thoughtfully designed for passenger comfort and practicality. The interior is well-appointed and spacious, providing generous headroom and legroom for all five occupants. Air conditioning comes as standard, ensuring a pleasant environment even on the warmest days.

Technology and connectivity are well catered for with the inclusion of a Bluetooth mobile phone system, allowing you to make hands-free calls with ease while keeping your focus firmly on the road. The rear seats are designed with passenger safety and comfort in mind, featuring height-adjustable centre rear head restraints. Clever storage solutions are dotted throughout the cabin, ensuring that family essentials remain organised and within easy reach during every outing.

Economy & Practicality

Sensible running costs sit at the heart of this Meriva's appeal. With its low insurance group rating of 11 and the aforementioned impressive fuel economy, this vehicle won't stretch your budget. The 1.4-litre engine also enjoys a strong reputation for reliability and paired with a genuine two-owner history, you can purchase with complete confidence.

As an MPV, practicality is second nature to the Meriva. The spacious boot area is well-suited to weekly shopping trips or weekend getaways, while the flexible seating arrangement allows you to adapt the interior to suit your needs. The kerb weight of just over 1,300 kg keeps the car feeling agile, whilst the large boot opening eases the loading and unloading of heavy or awkward items.

Condition & History

This Meriva comes with a clear vehicle history check, offering total peace of mind and confirming that the vehicle holds no hidden issues. The car has had just two previous owners and retains a partial service history, with its most recent service completed on 15 July 2026 at 68,376 miles. It is ready to go immediately, with the MOT valid until July 2027, so you can drive away without delay.
