The 2012 Vauxhall Meriva is a highly practical, family-focused mini MPV that's perfect for those who need a versatile and spacious vehicle without the hefty price tag. With its innovative rear-hinged 'suicide' doors, you'll find it incredibly easy to get in and out of the car, especially when dealing with child seats or assisting elderly passengers.

One of the standout features of this Meriva is its highly adaptable FlexSpace seating system. The rear seats can be slid forward, backward, or folded entirely flat without removing the headrests, giving you a multitude of configuration options to suit your needs. Whether you need to transport bulky items or simply want to provide more legroom for passengers, the FlexSpace system makes it easy to transform the traditional three-passenger rear bench into a spacious two-seater setup.

The Meriva's interior is designed with everyday convenience in mind, featuring elevated seating that provides excellent all-around visibility. The cabin space is generous, with plenty of clever cubby holes and hidden storage bins scattered throughout the car. You'll also appreciate the 400-litre boot capacity, which is perfect for storing luggage, groceries, or other items.

This particular Meriva has a 1.4L petrol engine, providing a refined ride comfort that's ideal for daily commutes or family outings. The manual transmission makes it easy to control and navigate through traffic, while the fuel efficiency will help keep your running costs down.

As a member of our Value Range stock category, this Vauxhall Meriva is priced competitively at £3,500.00, making it an excellent choice for those on a budget or looking for a reliable vehicle without breaking the bank. With its low mileage of 105,523 miles and a tax band of G: 151 to 165g/km, you can rest assured that this car will be easy to maintain and register.

The Meriva's CO2 emissions are 151g/km, which is relatively low for a vehicle in this class. This not only helps reduce your environmental impact but also makes it eligible for lower tax rates. The first registration date was September 2012, and the registration number is LT62XLW.

When you visit us at Freelance Autos in Blackpool, our knowledgeable team will be happy to answer any questions you may have about this Vauxhall Meriva or any other vehicle on our lot. We're committed to providing an honest and transparent sales experience, so you can trust that we'll give you the best possible deal.

What a difference, these people really made me feel welcome. The car, when I picked it up was super clean inside and out. And their 50 point PDI gave me enough confidence in the car to take it away.
