This 2003 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 27,810 miles. However, a major red flag is the extremely low mileage of 27,810 miles over 23 years, which is highly suspicious and warrants immediate investigation.
The vehicle shows a critically low mileage of 27,810 miles over 23 years, averaging only 3,591 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year and raises serious odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 27,810 miles over 23 years (Mar 2006) — indicates potential odometer fraud.
- Major suspension failure recorded on 2013-05-01 (test 44,653 mi) — indicates structural neglect.
- Recurring brake system advisories (May 2008, May 2009) — suggests ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
- Recurring exhaust and anti-roll bar link advisories (May 2008, May 2009) — indicates chronic component wear.
Working in its favour
- Consistent retest passes after failures, showing owner addressed issues promptly.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — demonstrates good safety features for its age.
- Long MOT validity until 2017-06-01, offering immediate peace of mind.
