The VAUXHALL VECTRA (1995-02) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8I 16V SXI SE is a practical, mid-sized family hatchback from Vauxhall’s range. Its five doors and layout make it more useful than a small city car, while its shape suits drivers wanting everyday transport. In the UK used-car market, it sits among family-car choices such as the Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 406 and Nissan Primera. The 1.8-litre petrol version is suited to commuting, school runs and longer journeys, and can appeal to families or buyers seeking an affordable, uncomplicated second-hand car. The SXi SE designation identifies a trim, but equipment can vary with age and condition. Compared with rivals, the Vectra’s appeal is its familiar Vauxhall character and useful hatchback access rather than a claim to luxury or modern-day efficiency. Across 36 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 27 VINs, the average private-sale valuation was £200, recorded mileage 111,000, annual mileage 6,000, and keeper count nearly six.
