You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 195 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- NEDC consumption (older, more optimistic than WLTP) as no WLTP figure is published: fuel is probably slightly underestimated.
- Insurance: brand average, as no average is published for this model.
- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
- Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.

2.0 CDTI 150 version: combined consumption of 7.4 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.347 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.

Inspection checklist
Opel Antara I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Contrôler l'état des bras et triangles de suspension arrière (corrosion) : Carwise rapporte des taux d'échec au contrôle technique très élevés.
- Essayer la direction à l'arrêt et en manœuvre : bruits, dureté, traces de fuite de liquide de direction assistée sous la voiture.
- Demander les factures du turbo, de la vanne EGR et du filtre à particules ; chercher sifflements et fumée bleue à l'essai.
- Vérifier que le frein de stationnement tient la voiture en pente.
- Sur une boîte automatique, rechercher des à-coups lors de l'essai.
Questions to ask the seller
- La direction assistée (pompe, durites, crémaillère) a-t-elle déjà été réparée ?
- Le turbo, la vanne EGR ou le filtre à particules ont-ils déjà été remplacés ou nettoyés ?
- Les bras de suspension arrière ont-ils été contrôlés ou changés pour cause de corrosion ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
