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 14 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 15,485 miles. The car's long-term neglect, combined with a 22-year age, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage (4,518 miles/yr), but a significant anomaly: 69,300 miles by April 2019, a 3.5× increase from its average of 4,518 miles/yr.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre failure recorded on 2007-04-17 (test 2007-04-17).
- Major suspension failure on 2007-04-17 (test 2007-04-17).
- Major brake failure on 2007-04-17 (test 2007-04-17).
- Unusually high mileage jump of 69,300 miles by April 2019 (test 2019-04-09).
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the May 2019 test.
- The single major failure in 2007 was immediately rectified and passed the retest.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), indicating good structural integrity.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests a single owner and light use.
