2009 Vauxhall Vectra Exclusiv Cdti 120 1.9L Diesel · IIG 6071

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 at 125,053 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, the prior test on 2025-12-04 at 124,967 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects being listed, raising questions about the test’s validity or potential oversights. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a generally reliable mechanical state. The lack of recurring issues in the recorded history implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the abrupt fail without explanation warrants scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with an average of ~7,356 miles annually, typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps include 6,845 miles over 18 months between 2022-05-30 (107,680) and 2023-11-14 (114,525), which may suggest periods of inactivity. The final 5,312 miles between 2024-12-04 (119,655) and 2025-12-04 (124,967) reflect slightly lower usage, while the 86-mile increase by 2025-12-16 implies minimal recent driving. This pattern does not indicate excessive wear but highlights the need to verify the vehicle’s usage history. No structural, suspension, or braking defects were recorded in the MOTs, but the absence of detailed findings means critical components like coil springs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions were not explicitly assessed. A buyer should inspect for corrosion around the chassis, check brake disc thickness, and test suspension for play, as these are common wear points in older diesel vehicles. The lack of advisories does not guarantee faultlessness, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised.
