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 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.
