AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Vauxhall has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 39,628 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect in critical areas like brakes, suspension, and tyres is a significant red flag.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,769 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures on critical safety systems: brakes (20 advisories), suspension (3 failures), and tyres (3 failures).
- Consistent pattern of neglect: same components repeatedly flagged as advisory before failing, indicating reactive maintenance.
- Brake hose advisory escalated to failure in March 2015, a serious safety concern.
- Suspension coil spring advisory escalated to failure in multiple tests, indicating chronic wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage of 6,769 miles/year, suggesting light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
