Vauxhall Meriva Wheel Hub Replacement Parts

The Meriva ran in two distinct generations: the original A-series from 2003 to 2010, and the B-series from 2010 onwards into 2017. Wheel hubs are running-gear components and are not shared between these two generations, so always make sure you and the breaker are both working from the same generation before agreeing a price. Quoting your full registration to the breaker is the safest way to confirm this straight away.

A 2008 car is a Meriva A and a 2011 car is a Meriva B, so these sit on opposite sides of the generation boundary and the hubs are not the same. Do not assume a part from the earlier car will drop straight onto the later one, even if the overall shape of the vehicle looks similar. Route this directly to the breaker with both registrations and let them confirm against the specific part numbers.

It can do, because larger-engined variants sometimes carry bigger brake assemblies, and the hub has to match the brakes fitted to your specific car. A hub from a 1.2 car may not be correct for a 1.6 or diesel variant even within the same generation. Always tell the breaker your exact engine size alongside the generation so they can match the right hub.

Trim level does not affect which wheel hub is fitted – Life, Active, and Design are cosmetic and equipment grades rather than changes to the running gear. The hub itself will be the same across those trims within the same generation and engine size, so you do not need to chase a part from a matching trim car. Bear in mind that alloy wheels or brake upgrade differences between trim levels are cosmetic or spec matters the breaker can clarify, but the hub fitment is driven by generation and engine, not badge.

Yes, front hubs in particular can differ between the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) because of the way the driveshaft and bearing are configured, so always specify which corner you need. Rear hubs may be handed on some variants too, so do not assume they are interchangeable across sides. Tell the breaker clearly which corner the hub is coming off and confirm against your registration.

The Meriva B ran from 2010 to 2017 and received styling and equipment updates during that period, but whether any of those coincided with a running-gear change that would affect hub fitment is something you should confirm with the breaker rather than assume. The generation boundary itself (Meriva A versus Meriva B) is the major fitment divide, but potential mid-generation brake or suspension specification changes cannot be ruled out without checking against your specific registration. Give the breaker both registrations – yours and the donor car – so they can verify the part numbers match before any money changes hands.
