The VAUXHALL SIGNUM (2003-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 CDTI 150 DESIGN AUTO is a large, five-door diesel hatchback with an automatic gearbox. It sits between a family car and an executive cruiser, offering more space and comfort than a typical small hatchback while remaining easier to live with than a large SUV. The Signum’s distinctive, stretched shape and generous rear passenger room make it appealing to families, regular commuters and drivers who often carry adults. The 150-horsepower 1.9-litre diesel gives useful flexibility for longer journeys, while the automatic transmission adds convenience in traffic. Compared with popular rivals such as the Ford Mondeo, it is a less common, more individual choice, prioritising cabin space over broad appeal. mycarcheck.com has just three look-ups across two VINs, so figures are indicative: average private-sale valuation £400, recorded mileage 88,000 and annual mileage 2,000.
