The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2002-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 CDTI 150 LS is a roomy, five-door family hatchback from the larger end of the UK mainstream market. It offers more space and a more substantial feel than a small city car, while remaining practical for everyday driving. Its diesel engine and hatchback boot make it a sensible option for people who need passenger room and useful carrying space without choosing an estate. mycarcheck.com has recorded 45 checks covering 11 different VINs, a useful but modest snapshot. Those records show an average most recent mileage of 141,000 and annual use of 5,000 miles; the average was about 2.6 previous keepers. Average private-sale valuation was £400, so condition and history matter greatly when assessing one. Against rivals such as the Ford Mondeo, its appeal is space and relaxed motorway travel; this Vectra suits families and commuters wanting affordable diesel practicality for everyday longer journeys.
