AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2003 Vauxhall has 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 22,803 miles. The vehicle is currently not valid for MOT and has a 23-year-old timing belt that is likely due for replacement.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,924 miles/yr, averaging only 22,803 miles over 23 years, which is highly unusual and warrants immediate investigation.

Things to check

  • No MOT history available for 2003–2006, a critical 23-year gap.
  • Single failed MOT on 2007-02-24 for insecure nearside front CV joint.
  • Vehicle is currently not valid for MOT, last valid until 2019-10-04.
  • Timing belt is 23 years old (due 2003), a major mechanical wear item.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • No specific MOT failures or advisories are present in the provided history.
  • The 2007-02-24 retest PASS indicates the CV joint issue was resolved.
