AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2001 Vauxhall has 25 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 16,351 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 25-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,935 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 114,165 miles in Feb 2021 to 115,411 miles in Feb 2022, indicating a potential period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,935 mi/yr) for a 25-year-old vehicle.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (3 times), suspension (3 times), and windscreen (1 time).
  • Recurring advisories on brakes (20 times), tyres (5 times), and emissions (4 times).
  • The vehicle has been off the road for extended periods, indicated by the low mileage.

Working in its favour

  • No specific recent MOT failures or advisories that are currently outstanding.
  • The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017).
  • The MOT history shows consistent retesting and immediate resolution of failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
