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 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 79,332 miles. While it has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating, the high mileage and recurring issues present significant risks.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,231 miles per year, with a notable spike of 24,193 miles between Dec 2012 and Oct 2013.

Things to check

  • 5 major brake failures across 12 MOT tests (e.g., Dec 2008, Nov 2011) indicate chronic neglect.
  • 10 recurring emissions advisories (e.g., Dec 2008, Oct 2013) suggest a persistent underlying issue.
  • High annual mileage (14,231 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) will accelerate wear.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and Not Valid for MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and inspection.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) provides a high level of safety for a 2004 vehicle.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine usage.
  • The vehicle has a long, documented MOT history, providing full transparency on its past condition.
  • No recent MOT failures, suggesting the owner has been proactive in addressing immediate test failures.
