2009 Vauxhall Vectra 1.9L Diesel · PE09 FOJ

The 2009 Vauxhall Vectra presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 31 May 2025 at 84,177 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in May 2024 and June 2023 also achieved passes with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has entered a clean inspection cycle over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 84,177 at the 2025 test equates to an average of roughly 4,952 miles per year across the vehicle's 17-year life, which is low for its age and suggests either light use or extended periods off the road. The record shows a tight cluster of activity in late May 2024 where the car failed on 28 May at 70,797 miles then passed the next day at 70,805 miles, and a similar pattern in May 2023 with a fail on 31 May at 55,951 miles followed by a pass on 2 June at 56,186 miles. The DVSA entries list no defects against either failure, so the reasons remain unstated in the data supplied. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age and the unknown nature of the two historic failures. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions should be physically checked despite the absence of advisories in the recent clean passes. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and surface rust on sills or subframes that a static MOT bay may not escalate. The repeated same-week fail-then-pass outcomes in 2023 and 2024 imply the previous owner addressed any issued items promptly rather than deferring work. This points to a keeper who maintained the car to a testable standard, though the lack of recorded defects leaves the true mechanical condition of consumables and chassis unseen.
