2009 Vauxhall Vectra 1.8L Petrol · DA58 AXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of repair-related failures. The most recent test in December 2025 at 41,116 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories for both rear tyres showing uneven inner edge wear. This suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that requires attention, whereas the vehicle maintained a clean record in the consecutive tests throughout 2024. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old Vauxhall, averaging only approximately 2,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2024 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered only 1,330 miles in eleven months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the infrequent use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and hoses, which may be consistent with the oil leak noted in the transmission recorded back in late 2022. A buyer should specifically inspect the front subframe area where a brake pipe connection previously failed for leaking in December 2022. Although this was repaired to pass the test, the presence of surface corrosion or structural rust in that area should be verified given the vehicle's age. The inner edge wear on the rear tyres demands a physical check of the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shocks to ensure the geometry is not compromised and causing premature tyre failure.
