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 62% pass rate and 40,618 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and numerous advisories suggest significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,298 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 8,164 miles in 2013).

Things to check

  • Five test failures across 13 MOTs (2006-2013) indicates persistent mechanical issues.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (6 times), suspension (2 times), and brakes (1 major + 10 advisories) point to systemic neglect.
  • Emissions advisories are recurring across 3 separate tests (Jul 2007, Jul 2008, Jul 2009), suggesting a chronic problem.
  • The vehicle is 24 years old with high mileage (40,618 miles), meaning significant wear is expected.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with a history of recurring failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing responsive ownership.
