This 2001 Vauxhall has 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 109,302 miles. The most critical issue is a significant mileage decrease between Sep 2009 and Oct 2009, which is a strong indicator of potential odometer tampering.
The mileage decreased from 168,859 miles on 2009-09-17 to 118,213 miles on 2009-10-01, a clear and unexplained drop that suggests possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2009 (168,859 mi) and Oct 2009 (118,213 mi) — possible odometer tamper
- Mileage decreased from 168,859 miles (2009-09-17) to 118,213 miles (2009-10-01) — a major red flag for odometer fraud.
- Brake system failures and advisories are pervasive across 19 tests, indicating chronic neglect or poor maintenance.
- Suspension and steering failures are common, with 6 major suspension failures and 4 major steering failures recorded.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,873 miles/year, which is higher than the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
- The vehicle has a long, documented MOT history, providing a clear and transparent record of its maintenance and condition.
