This 2003 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 43,965 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with these issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage decrease of 5,546 miles was recorded between Nov 2012 (121,032 mi) and Dec 2013 (115,486 mi), indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2012 (121,032 mi) and Dec 2013 (115,486 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased by 5,546 miles between Nov 2012 and Dec 2013, a strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Recurring major failures in suspension (4 times), tyres (4 times), and exhaust (3 times) across multiple tests.
  • Notable 2009 service gap in MOT history, suggesting periods of unrecorded use or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 10,467 miles/yr (pre-2013) aligns with typical UK usage, suggesting a single-owner history.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since Nov 2016, suggesting current roadworthiness.
  • The vehicle has a comprehensive MOT history, providing a clear picture of its past maintenance and issues.
