2004 Vauxhall Vectra 3.0L Petrol · KS54 CSX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in November 2022 at 159,737 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car met minimum legal standards at that time. While a single failure occurred in December 2020, the immediate rectification and subsequent years of clean passes suggest the owner was attentive to addressing mechanical requirements promptly. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between November 2019 and November 2022, the car covered 37,942 miles, showing a steady pattern of use rather than long periods of stagnation or neglect. However, there is a significant gap in the data as the last recorded test was over three years ago. As of June 2026, the vehicle has gone nearly four years without a formal MOT check, which increases the risk that undetected wear on rubber components or fluid leaks may have developed since the last entry. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as the Vectra of this era is prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the age and the interval since the last recorded test, checking for perished suspension bushes and leaking shock absorbers is essential. Because the MOT record is now outdated, a thorough evaluation of the brake calipers for binding and the condition of the exhaust system is required to ensure that no significant degradation has occurred during the extended period since the last official inspection.
