2001 Vauxhall Vectra: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 61% pass first time (all 2001 cars: 60%) Stands out: rigid brake pipes 1.7×, number plate lights 2×, anti-lock braking system 3.4× 1,734 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›

Diesel and Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
