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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 34,450 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' and 'Untaxed', making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The mileage shows a significant decrease of 57,199 miles between Oct 2015 (184,169 mi) and Nov 2016 (126,970 mi), indicating a clear odometer tampering issue.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2015 (184,169 mi) and Nov 2016 (126,970 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased by 57,199 miles between Oct 2015 and Nov 2016 — clear odometer fraud.
  • 6 major failures across brakes, steering, lights, suspension, and emissions — extensive safety neglect.
  • 4 recurring advisories for ball joint, brake hose, handbrake, and coil spring — chronic wear patterns.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,113 miles/year (pre-2015) — no sudden usage spikes.
  • No single system has failed repeatedly in the last 2 years — issues are historical, not current.
  • The vehicle has been regularly tested for MOTs since 2006, showing continuous use.
