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 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 20,837 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,930 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 7 tests (2009, 2014, 2015, 2016) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 3 tests (2012, 2015) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Six test failures (2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016) for basic items like lights and tyres.
  • Not valid MOT since 2017-08-11, requiring immediate re-MOT and potential repairs.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,930 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features for its age.
  • Recent clean MOT pass in Aug 2016 after several failures, showing owner addressed issues.
