AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Vauxhall has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 21,592 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2018, the vehicle's age and low mileage for its age present significant risks.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before May 2008 (57 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant increase in annual usage, which is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage before May 2008 (57 mi/yr equivalent).
- Recurring failures: 4 test failures across 2008, 2013, 2014, and 2016.
- Persistent advisories: Recurring advisories on tyres (4 tests), brakes (8 tests), and exhaust (6 tests).
- Age and wear: 23-year-old vehicle with low mileage (21,592 mi) for its age.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2018-11-28, indicating it was roadworthy at that time.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsive ownership.
