Peak Sales Year
The Antara’s strongest market performance came in its first full year, 2007, when 26,067 units were sold. After that peak, sales fell sharply, dropping to 9,148 units by 2010.
Common Reliability Issues
Owners have reported electronic and starter‑motor problems that can appear after about 20,000 km, often linked to corrosion. These issues are among the most frequently noted concerns for used Opel Antara models.
