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

This 2002 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 7,887 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of recurring issues and a dangerous defect in the latest test warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,713 miles per year, with a significant gap in recorded mileage between 2007 and 2008.

Things to check

  • Aug 2015: Failed MOT with dangerous defects on subframe and exhaust.
  • Recurring major failures: Lights (6 times), Windscreen (3 times), Suspension (2 times), Tyres (2 times), Brakes (1 time), Emissions (1 time).
  • Consistent pattern of recurring advisories on the same components, indicating systemic neglect.
  • Low annual mileage (4,713 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle suggests minimal use and potential issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
