2008 Vauxhall Vectra SRI Cdti 150 1.9L Diesel · WLZ 8156

The Vauxhall Vectra presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 7 November 2022 at 137,007 miles returning a pass and no defects logged. The prior failure on 31 October 2022 at 136,987 miles recorded no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or unlisted minor issue rather than a mechanical fault. Across the available history the vehicle shows no recurring advisories or test failures tied to wear items, indicating the maintenance trend is steady rather than deteriorating. Mileage accumulation sits close to typical use for an 18 year old car, averaging roughly 7,600 miles per year. The record jumps from 113,032 miles on 23 October 2018 to 129,524 miles by 2 November 2019, a 16,492 mile year, then slows to 136,420 miles by 18 October 2021. A near static 587 miles separates the 2021 pass from the 2022 failure and pass, implying the car stood largely unused in its final recorded year. The sparse clean tests give little evidence of neglected consumables but leave long gaps unverified. A buyer should still commission an in person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low recent use, as standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber and corroded calipers unseen by MOT passes. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants checking for corrosion that a clean ticket may not capture on a lightly driven example. Confirm current tyre condition and exhaust emissions at point of sale, since the 2022 tests logged nothing but the car has covered minimal miles since, and rubber age cracks regardless of tread depth.
