The VAUXHALL VECTRA (1995-02) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8I 16V CDX LTHR is a roomy, mid-sized family hatchback from Vauxhall’s well-established Vectra range. In the UK it sat between smaller everyday hatchbacks and larger executive cars, competing with cars such as the Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 406 and Nissan Primera. Five doors make access straightforward, while the CDX leather-trim specification gives this practical model a more upmarket feel. The 1.8-litre petrol engine suits drivers wanting a straightforward car for commuting, errands and family trips, with a useful cabin and hatchback flexibility for luggage. It is best considered as affordable, older transport rather than a modern economy or technology choice. Mycarcheck.com records show 12 look-ups covering 11 different VINs, a modest sample, with an average recorded mileage of 103,000 miles and around 4,000 miles driven annually. At £400 average value and 3.4 previous keepers, careful checks are sensible before buying one of this age.
