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 16,286 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of recurring issues and low annual usage raises significant concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 4,089 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 249 miles recorded between 2004 and May 2015, and a total of 55,140 miles over 22 years.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below average: 55,140 miles over 22 years, indicating minimal use.
  • Suspiciously low mileage before May 2015: 249 miles in 11 years, suggesting potential odometer issues.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (4 tests): Indicates a persistent wear pattern, not just a one-off issue.
  • Multiple major failures (6 tests): Lights, steering, emissions, brakes, suspension, and windscreen failures.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2018: Current roadworthiness certificate.
  • No recent MOT failures: Latest test (Jun 2017) passed after repairs.
  • Consistent retest pattern: Immediate retests after failures show owner's responsiveness.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: High safety standards for a 2004 model.
