2008 Vauxhall Vectra 1.9L Diesel · VU58 LSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 18 June 2025 with 167,881 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period where minor wear and tear were not being addressed. While the 2024 test revealed multiple failures related to consumables, the most recent result indicates the current owner has addressed the necessary repairs to maintain a clean pass standard. At 167,881 miles over 18 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a family saloon. The data shows consistent usage, with an 8,694-mile interval between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,497 miles in the six months leading up to the latest test. This regular mileage suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history shows recurring wear issues. The November 2023 test flagged thin rear brake pads, and the December 2024 test identified a pitted and scored nearside front brake disc. While these are replaceable items, the frequency of these notes suggests the buyer should check for uneven pad wear or sticking calipers. Additionally, the 2024 failure for front tyres worn to the legal limit indicates that the vehicle may be nearing the end of another tyre cycle, necessitating a check of remaining tread depth across all four corners.
