Vauxhall Vectra Sri Cdti 150 (2007)
2007 Vauxhall Vectra Sri Cdti 150
CarHunch analysed 302 real MOT records for the 2007 Vauxhall Vectra Sri Cdti 150. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Vauxhall Vectra SRI CDTI 150 is a struggling performer: only 57% pass their MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%, which means nearly half will need repairs before they're legally roadworthy. No vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so while reliability is poor, safety-critical failures aren't the issue here.
At 136,642 miles median, these are genuinely high-mileage cars for their age, yet they're still averaging almost one failure per test—typically electrical gremlins, suspension wear, and emissions-related problems rather than serious faults. If you're considering one, budget for an independent inspection by a diesel specialist and expect regular repair bills; these are cheap to buy for a reason.
What to check before buying a 2007 Vauxhall Vectra Sri Cdti 150
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
