The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2002-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 CDTI 150 ELITE is a roomy, family-sized hatchback from Vauxhall’s mainstream large-car range, offering more space than a typical family hatch. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 71 checks across 44 distinct cars, a useful snapshot of how these older Vectras appear in the used market. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £700, recorded mileage of 135,000 and annual use around 7,000 miles. Almost five previous keepers on average makes it worth checking each car’s history, condition and maintenance; these figures describe checked examples, not a guarantee for an individual vehicle. The 150hp diesel suits longer commutes and family trips, combining useful pulling power with hatchback practicality and a comfortable, well-equipped Elite specification. It is a sensible alternative to rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat: less fashionable today, but spacious and often affordable used.
