Opel Meriva B

Manufactured at a Spanish factory between 2010 and 2017, the second-generation Opel Meriva was distributed across Europe. The russsian variant of this vehicle underwent assembly in Kaliningrad from 2011 to 2015. Built upon the Delta II platform, common with the Opel Astra J and Chevrolet Cruze J300, this compact minivan exemplified versatility. Additionally, the Meriva family encompasses the X03 model (2003-2010).

Faults

Frequent problems include premature thermostat failure, rapid development of microcracks and cloudiness on the factory windshield, seizing of front brake cylinder pistons, weak tie rod end on the right steering tie rod, longitudinal play in the right driveshaft, and an inconvenient trunk.

Rare occurrences involve thin body metal, resulting in dents from minor impacts, and headlights occasionally fogging up after washing or in rain due to poor sealing.
