This 2003 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 13,368 miles. While it has a generally clean MOT record, the low mileage raises significant questions about its true condition and potential for hidden issues.
The vehicle shows only 48,935 miles over 23 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, indicating potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 48,935 miles over 23 years (Apr 2006–May 2017).
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, anti-roll bar linkage) in 2013 and 2016.
- Recurring brake system advisories (pads, system) across multiple tests.
- Recurring emissions and exhaust advisories across 7 separate tests.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects.
- Consistent retest passes after initial failures, showing issues were addressed.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good overall safety features.
