Hi
It is a Hoover Per Forma Eco 1300. I was given in second hand in 2009.
The model no is : AB130 001It seems to be getting stuck a bit mid cycle and is getting really loud. I am guessing its on its last legs but I thought washing machines had a bit more longevity.
Re: How old is this Hoover washing machine pls?
Hi
That machine model was produced between 27/8/1998 to 28/2/2001 so at best it’s 16 years old. Build factor back then would have been a lifespan of 6- 9 years depending on use and how well it had been looked after.
If the drum grates on spin or rotation by hand then it’s probably the bearings which have failed. It could be the pump failing or even a bra wire trapped between drum and tub a quick feel around the drum holes and you may find one.

Many thanks Don. I appreciate your response. I guess it’s time to get a new one. I got it for £50 (so not worth a call out fee from a repair person) and to be honest I don’t think it has been washing clothes properly for a while.
Are you allowed to recommend any machines up to a budget of £300?Re: How old is this Hoover washing machine pls?

Sharp range are worth a look as they have a five year guarantee or the Bosch WAB24161 or even a Beko.
