The VAUXHALL FRONTERA (1995-04) 3DR SUV 2.2 DTI SPORT is a compact, three-door diesel SUV from a time when rugged four-wheel-drive vehicles were still unusual family alternatives. It sits closer to a practical off-roader than a modern city crossover, with a purposeful shape and a more adventurous feel than ordinary hatchbacks. It suits drivers wanting a distinctive, usable runabout for rural trips, outdoor hobbies or occasional family duties, rather than a refined everyday commuter. Mycarcheck recorded 39 look-ups but only three different VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot: checked examples averaged 88,000 miles and roughly seven previous keepers. The average annual mileage was 9,000, while the average private-sale valuation was £300; both are check-data averages, not a guide to any car’s condition or price. Compared with softer crossovers, the Frontera is known for its tough, utilitarian character and three-door format, but age makes careful inspection essential.
