2009 Vauxhall Vectra 1.9L Diesel · SF58 TYO

This Vauxhall Vectra has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 28 January 2026, with no defects recorded at 142,882 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the past three tests—including the January 2025 and February 2024 passes—indicates a stable roadworthiness trend over the last two years. However, the duplicate entry for February 2024 (one pass, one fail at identical mileage) suggests a potential administrative error rather than a mechanical issue, as no faults were logged. The vehicle has not yet reached the 15-year MOT exemption threshold, meaning all tests remain subject to full inspection standards. The recorded mileage of 142,882 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 8,405 miles annually, which is within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in mileage accumulation, though the jump from 132,980 miles in February 2023 to 138,239 miles by February 2024—a 5,259-mile increase in under a year—could indicate either a period of heavier use or a brief period of inactivity followed by rapid driving. The most recent test in January 2026 aligns with the vehicle’s current mileage, ensuring the MOT remains valid for another year without risk of expiry. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely covered by MOT standards. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as this model is prone to bush deterioration over 150,000 miles. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny, especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven wear or binding, though no such issues were flagged in past tests. Structural integrity, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and rear subframe, must be assessed for corrosion, as rust can compromise the vehicle’s load-bearing capacity. Tyre condition should also be verified, as the absence of tread-related failures does not guarantee current compliance with legal minimum depths.
