AI verdict AVOID 35/100

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

This 2002 Vauxhall has 31 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 25,613 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage pattern also raise significant reliability concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,473 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 1,156 miles driven between Feb 2020 and Mar 2021.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2026-02-05 (MOT 132,062 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Mar 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2026) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring subframe corrosion advisories (Feb 2024, Feb 2026) suggest structural degradation.
  • Recurring coil spring advisories (Feb 2024, Feb 2025, Feb 2026) point to ongoing suspension issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-04, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage, albeit low, suggests regular use rather than prolonged storage.
