The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2002-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 3.2I V6 24V ELITE AUTO is a family hatchback from the mainstream middle-class market, offering five-door practicality with a more powerful, premium-feeling specification. Its automatic gearbox and smooth V6 make it a relaxed choice for longer journeys, rather than a small, low-cost city car. The mycarcheck.com picture is based on 13 look-ups covering 11 VINs, so it is a modest sample rather than a definitive guide. These checks show an average reported valuation of £600, average mileage of 112,000 miles and annual use of 4,000 miles. Vehicles had around 4.5 previous keepers on average. Best suited to drivers wanting comfortable family space and effortless overtaking, it stands out among rivals Mondeo and Passat for its rare big-engine, automatic combination. Expect higher fuel bills than family hatchbacks; check service history, condition and mileage carefully, and treat the £600 figure as an average, not an offer.
