AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2004 Vauxhall has 20 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 13,163 miles. The single unexplained failure in 2007 and very low annual mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 3,021 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2018 onwards (44,647 mi to 46,821 mi over 12 months).
Things to check
- Very low annual mileage (3,021 mi/yr) for a 22-year-old vehicle suggests prolonged inactivity, which can lead to major mechanical issues.
- The single unexplained MOT failure on 2007-10-31, with no defect details provided, is a major concern for a 2004 car.
- No service history or timing belt replacement records are available for this 22-year-old vehicle, which is a significant risk.
- The 2004 Vauxhall is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London, impacting future resale value.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No dangerous defects or recurring major failures are present in the MOT history.
- The car has consistently passed its MOT tests since 2007, showing no recent failures.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety features.
