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

This 2001 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 52,643 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues and lack of recent MOT validity demand thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,286 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage over its 25-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Major exhaust leak advisory on 2006-11-08 escalated to failure on 2010-12-01.
  • Recurring lighting issues (headlamps, registration plate lamp) across multiple tests.
  • Brake system failure on 2013-12-01, with a subsequent advisory on 2013-12-01.
  • Consistent pattern of tyre wear advisories (2007, 2008, 2009) suggests chronic maintenance neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 6,286 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity.
