2002 Vauxhall Vectra 1.8L Petrol · DX02 AOC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its testing history over the last six years. The most recent test conducted on 23 November 2021 passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met the minimum safety standards at that time. While a failure occurred earlier on 24 November 2020, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly without revealing a deeper mechanical decline. Mileage data indicates a consistent and low usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. Between May 2018 and May 2019, the car covered 6,397 miles, and between May 2019 and November 2020, it recorded another 7,025 miles. This suggests an average annual mileage of roughly 7,000 miles, which is modest. However, there is a significant gap in the records following the November 2021 test. Since the vehicle has not undergone a recorded MOT in nearly five years, the current state of consumables and structural integrity remains unknown without a physical inspection. A buyer should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Vauxhall models from this era are prone to corrosion that may have developed between tests. Given the long interval since the last official check, rubber components such as suspension bushes and brake boots should be examined for cracking or perishing. Inspect the braking system for binding calipers or corroded discs, as the record provides no data on the condition of these parts since the 2021 clearance.
