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 86% pass rate and 14,038 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows a severe mileage anomaly: 56,864 miles over 23 years, well below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 56,864 mi (Apr 2006) vs typical 87,786 mi for a 2003 VAUXHALL.
  • Recurring brake failures: 4 major failures (Oct 2011, Oct 2014) and 18 related advisories across 14 tests.
  • Recurring suspension advisories: 3 advisories (Oct 2012, Oct 2014, Oct 2015) for anti-roll bar link and coil spring.
  • Recurring lighting advisories: 7 advisories (Oct 2011, Oct 2012, Oct 2014, Oct 2015, Oct 2016) for headlamps.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures — last failure was Oct 2014, indicating some level of maintenance.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases despite low overall total — no sudden spikes or drops.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates good structural integrity for its age.
  • No major structural corrosion noted in MOT history — the vehicle's core structure appears sound.
