Chevrolet Epica - 110,000 miles chevrolet epica 58 reg - oldroverboy

I see in the Daily Telegraph/autotrader website that there is an epica 58 reg vcdi for sale in Luton with 110.000 miles on the clock, would love to know what was needed in terms of non-service items over that time. I am now at a mere 20000 miles in an 09 vcdi, (13,000 of those in 9 months)

I have one and use daily, been a good car but high maintenance, by 109,000 I have replaced all the following: check dual mass flywheel, cost about £1000, track rod ends and the hub as where the track rod end goes through the hub this wears badly (Chevrolet have superseded the part and a new one costs £211 and you will need two), steering rack, all ball joints, diesel particulate filter does not regen (problem in many chevy and vauxs, brake fluid as there is a recall on this, cv gaitors are not flexible enough and wear badly you can replace these with a more flexible gaitor, rear brake calipers are prone to bind, handbrake adjust, all rear suspension bushes and wishbones all round. Lots of costs here to be aware of.

I thought it was a Vectra C with a different badge and external lights?
