This 2003 Vauxhall has 3 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 65,825 miles. While it passed its only recent MOT, the vehicle's age and unexplained low usage raise significant reliability concerns.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2007 (87 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a 23-year gap in recorded MOT mileage, which is highly unusual for a 2003 vehicle.
Things to check
- Mileage Anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2007 (87 mi/yr equivalent).
- MOT Gap: No MOT tests recorded for 23 years (Oct 2007 to Oct 2007).
- Dangerous Exhaust: Major failure for excessive smoke from turbocharged engine (Jun 2006).
- Brake Failure: Major failure for parking brake efficiency below requirements (Jun 2006).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates good safety features for its era.
- Recent MOT Pass: Passed its most
