Description
11 months MOT
122606 miles
Runs perfectly, engine sounds great, no funny noises.
The best mini MPV of its year group for boot size and functions.
Fold flat rear seats were the main sell for me when I got it, can get all sorts in there including an adult bike even with a child seat in the back.
Hidden chasm of extra space under the boot floor.
Gear stick smooth and fine.
AC works fine
This is the SE model, the best and most fancy of the meriva models - with part leather seats, panoramic roof with electric sun shade, alloy wheels.
Roof bars I've just left on but comes off easily.
Unleaded.
Spare wheel goop is present and pump works and has all fittings present for inflateables, footballs, airbeds etc
Locking wheel nuts present
Passenger seat drawer present
Lots of cubby holes for storage
Negatives:
-Orange engine management light, known Vauxhall issue, gets cleared at MOT. Last MOT cost under 200 pounds which included emissions fail sorting out, some bulbs and sorting out that engine management light. Was off for a few weeks and has popped back on. Quite annoying!
-A few minor bumps and scratches on bodywork
-Only advisory is a small oil leak - you can look up the MOT history
-Radio has never worked, an aerial may sort that out. We've always just used CDs and connected our phones to the car via the usb socket. Speakers sound great.
-I cut part of the carpet away in the rear driver side footwell due to a spill, it's covered by a car mat so you wouldn't notice.
-Cracked bit of plastic on driver side seat
So, it's been a great family car, have carted canoes around one the roof and given it turns into a van with the fold flat seats, I've used that space a lot.
