Vauxhall Calibra versions

The Vauxhall Calibra Turbo 4x4 has its own page. The figures above include every version; each version page covers only the cars DVLA records under that version’s name.

Vauxhall Calibra MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Vauxhall Calibras in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Vauxhall Calibra engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 301 Vauxhall Calibras licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 78.4% have an engine of 1,901cc to 2,000cc, and 19.9% have an engine of 2,401cc to 2,500cc.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Vauxhall Calibra safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Vauxhall Calibra in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Vauxhall Calibra. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
