The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2002-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 CDTI 150 CLUB is a roomy family hatchback from the mainstream large-car class, offering more space than a small hatchback without the bulk of an SUV. It suited UK buyers wanting practical everyday transport with a smart, understated look. mycarcheck.com has recorded 26 checks covering 19 different cars, so these figures are a useful snapshot rather than a large survey. The average private-sale value was £500, with average recorded mileage of 141,000 miles and annual use of 9,000 miles; cars had nearly four previous keepers on average. The 150hp diesel engine gives this Vectra punch for motorway journeys, while the five-door layout and generous cabin make it well suited to commuters and families. Against rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat, it stands out as a practical, affordable used choice, though age and mileage make a vehicle history check especially worthwhile.
