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 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 38,707 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, and the car's age presents significant unknown risks.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 82 miles in the first 7 years (Jan 2003 to May 2018), followed by normal usage from May 2019 onwards.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2021-12-10, making it illegal to drive on public roads.
  • Critical 21-year gap in MOT history from 2003 to 2020, indicating unknown periods of non-compliance.
  • Mileage shows only 82 miles in the first 7 years (Jan 2003 to May 2018), a major red flag for potential fraud.
  • The 2003 Vauxhall is 23 years old, presenting significant unknown mechanical and safety risks.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
  • No specific recurring failures or advisories that would indicate a single, major, unaddressed safety concern.
  • The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017), suggesting a generally safe design.
  • The car has a consistent annual mileage of 7,374 miles/yr since May 2019, indicating regular use after the initial period.
