This 2004 Vauxhall has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 77,792 miles. The vehicle's age and high mileage present significant wear and tear risks.

The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 16,625 miles/year, with a notable spike in 2007-09-24 to 77,792 miles, and a significant jump in 2009-01-08 to 96,871 miles.

Things to check

  • High mileage (140,293 miles by Jun 2012) suggests significant wear and tear.
  • Recurring steering advisories (2009-12-31) and ball joint play (2009-12-31) indicate ongoing suspension concerns.
  • Failed MOT on 2009-01-08 for registration plate lamps, a recurring issue (2009-12-31).
  • No valid MOT since 2013-06-06, meaning it has been off-road for over 9 years.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) provides a strong safety foundation for this model.
