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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 35,323 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance.

The vehicle shows normal usage at 9,256 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but low annual mileage for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (2006, 2009, 2012) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories (2008, 2012) suggest ongoing deterioration.
  • Major brake failure (2009) and major tyre failure (2006) show past neglect.
  • Major suspension failure (2013) and major light failure (2013) highlight multiple system weaknesses.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,256 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • All major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
  • Valid MOT until July 2015, providing immediate roadworthiness.
