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

This 2004 Vauxhall has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 30,254 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2022-11-26, which is a critical red flag.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,521 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 2,277 miles between Nov 2020 and Nov 2021).

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2022-11-26; current status is 'Not valid' — immediate legal and safety concerns.
  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2007-08-17 and 2008-05-06, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2008-05-06, 2020-11-20) suggest chronic issues.
  • The 2004 Vauxhall is 22 years old with very low mileage (30,254 miles), a classic 'barn find' with unknown history.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its era.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT testing history, with all failures promptly addressed and retested.
  • No recurring major structural corrosion or emissions failures are evident in the MOT record.
