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

This 2003 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 52,350 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of recurring issues and a 23-year age warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,903 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but there are significant gaps in MOT testing in 2008 and 2011.

Things to check

  • Five major failures across brakes, suspension, and tyres from 2010 to 2014.
  • Seven related advisories for brakes, suspension, and tyres show a pattern of wear.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Lower Tie bar/rod excessive play in Sep 2013.
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear coil spring incomplete in Sep 2013.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
