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 21 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 24,497 miles. The recurring tyre and brake advisories also indicate ongoing wear and maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 4,457 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 377 miles recorded between Oct 2024 and Oct 2025.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 377 miles recorded between Oct 2024 and Oct 2025 is extremely low.
  • MOT failure: Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (Oct 2020) — repaired but indicates age-related wear.
  • Timing belt wear: High risk for a 23-year-old vehicle; verify service history.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Strong MOT pass record: 7 of 8 tests passed, with no dangerous defects.
  • Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until October 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No major recurring failures: Single suspension failure was immediately rectified.
