The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2002-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.2 16V DTI SRI AUTO is a roomy, five-door family hatchback from Vauxhall’s large-car range. It sits between compact hatchbacks and bigger saloons, offering useful space without an SUV’s size. The SRi trim gives it a sportier look and feel than a family model. mycarcheck.com records 10 checks covering seven distinct VINs, a sample rather than a full picture. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £400, average recorded mileage of 148,000 miles and 11,000 miles driven yearly. The cars averaged 3.9 previous keepers, useful context when assessing a Vectra’s history and condition. This diesel automatic suits commuters and families wanting relaxed journeys, especially on longer trips; its hatchback opening makes loading straightforward. The 2.2-litre engine and SRi character distinguish it from family hatchbacks, while rivals including the Ford Mondeo and Renault Laguna offer similar space. Age, mileage and service history matter greatly today.
