This 2004 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 15,120 miles. While it has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating, the vehicle's age and past failures warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: 24,244 miles/year before Mar 2008, then a sharp drop to 3,000-6,000 miles/year, indicating a change in usage or potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 24,244 miles/year before Mar 2008, then 3,000-6,000 miles/year, suggesting odometer fraud.
  • Recurring steering failures: Nearside Track rod end ball joint excessive play (Mar 2008, Feb 2012) indicates a structural weakness.
  • Headlamp aim failures: Offside/Offside Headlamp aim too high (Mar 2008) suggests electrical or alignment issues.
  • Windscreen damage: Advisory noted in Mar 2008 and Feb 2012, indicating a persistent issue.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • Consistent annual mileage: 7,822 miles/year average since 2008, suggesting regular use.
  • No recent MOT failures: The last MOT failure was in Feb 2012, over 10 years ago.
  • Immediate retests: All 3 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
