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 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 20,367 miles. The single recorded test in 2018 was a retest after a 2009 failure, raising serious questions about its roadworthiness and legality.

The vehicle shows 20,367 miles at its first MOT in Oct 2018, which is extremely low for a 23-year-old car and suggests potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • No MOT history recorded for a 23-year-old vehicle (registered 2003).
  • First MOT test on 2018-10-01 recorded 20,367 miles, a suspiciously low figure for its age.
  • The 2009-07-05 test failed on multiple suspension components, yet no subsequent pass is recorded.
  • The vehicle is currently on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification), indicating it is not roadworthy or insured.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • The 2018-10-01 retest PASS indicates the vehicle was deemed roadworthy at that time.
  • No recorded test failures or advisories on the 2018-10-01 MOT test.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
