This 2002 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 66,895 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect suggests significant upcoming repair costs.

Mileage is consistent, averaging 11,640 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage over its 24-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories (5 instances) across 3 tests (Nov 2008, Nov 2009, Nov 2010) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (6 instances) across 4 tests (Oct 2006, Nov 2008, Nov 2009, Nov 2012) escalated to a major failure in Nov 2012.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories (2 instances) across 2 tests (Oct 2006, Nov 2010) escalated to a major failure in Nov 2010.
  • Recurring registration plate lamp advisories (3 instances) across 2 tests (Nov 2009, Nov 2012) escalated to a major failure in Nov 2012.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,640 miles/year, indicating normal usage without fraud.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
