Description

Well-cared for example of a reliable family car. Have owned it from 80k miles, used for family and have done cross-country trips to Manchester, Wales, Lake District and back! Hence, has been maintained impeccably since I owned it so that it's safe. I like things to work well, hence, took care of many little things that usual garages would hesitate to do because of the low value of the car. Service items done in my ownership: Front brake pads at 83000 miles (workshop), replaced worn-out clutch system at 90000 miles (workshop). Engine oil + filter service 3 times since 2024 (workshop). 3 new tyres (workshop): The car had odd tyres when I bought it. Replaced front 2 (GT Radials) and nearside right tyre in July 2025. They still have a lot of tread. Rear left is a Continental with decent tread as well. Smaller items: Aux port was non-functional and I wanted bluetooth music: replaced the aux port with genuine Vauxhall part (DIY), and now it works like a dream. Use it to connect to a bluetooth adapter which comes with the car. In-cabin air filter replaced 6 months ago (DIY). Fitted a dashcam after buying the car with internal wiring neatly tucked out of the way (DIY). Switches off when car's ignition switch is off so it doesn't drain battery. Will not take it out upon sale, and comes with the car. Replaced rear license plate lights with new bulbs (DIY). Rear boot came without the boot lid. Sourced a used OEM part from eBay soon after I bought the car, which fits perfectly. There was a recall from Vauxhall for the Takata driver side airbag, and the car was on a waiting list. They replaced the whole airbag and the steering wheel pad in July 2026 at the Vauxhall dealership. Present issues: Rear right parking brake cable slightly loose. It has been like that ever since I've owned this car. Parking brake works well though. Did not want to waste resources fixing this as it doesn't affect functionality. AC is losing its cooling ability. May need a gas refill but haven't got it checked as winter approaching. Heater blower working perfectly fine. Selling the vehicle as is because I am upgrading.
