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 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 18,954 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests significant wear and potential future costs.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,785 miles/year, averaging only 18,954 miles over 24 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Apr 2016, Apr 2017) and advisories (Jan 2006, Jan 2007) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake failures (May 2013, May 2014, Apr 2015) and advisories (Jan 2006, Jan 2007) point to systemic neglect.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2006, Jan 2007) and failures (Jan 2007) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN status since 2018, implying it has not been on the road for several years.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity.
  • The vehicle has a consistent service history, with regular MOT tests conducted annually.
