Is this one-year-old Meriva a good buy?

Am I wise to go for an 2011 Meriva 1.4T 140 for £7795 from Motorpoint, including trade in for my old Tacuma? It seems to tick all the family's boxes but I never thought I could get a suitable one-year-old car for that sort of price. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Reads like a fantastic deal. The 1.4T 140 is the best Meriva. But do check its history, in particular were it came from, as this will affect its remaining warranty. Test and video: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/vauxhall/vauxhall-.../
