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 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 12,446 miles. While it has a valid MOT now, recurring advisories for brakes and tyres, combined with a 22-year age, warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (82 mi/yr equivalent) before Jun 2012, followed by a significant spike in annual usage, indicating a potential odometer reset or a period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (82 mi/yr equivalent) before Jun 2012, suggesting a possible odometer reset.
  • Recurring brake advisories: 7 advisories across 4 tests (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) indicate a persistent wear item.
  • Recurring tyre advisories: 4 advisories across 2 tests (2015, 2016) suggest a pattern of neglect.
  • Head gasket and timing chain issues: Community-reported high-risk faults for this model, requiring verification.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT: Currently holds a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • Consistent recent mileage: Annual mileage has been consistent and reasonable since 2012, suggesting regular use.
  • No recent major failures: The last two MOTs (May 2018, Apr 2018) passed without major defects.
  • Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating (2017) provides good overall safety assurance.
