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

This 2002 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 35,707 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and recurring issues warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,616 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the 2013-2014 period shows unusually low annual usage.

Things to check

  • Four test failures recorded (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013) with no defect details.
  • Eight recurring brake advisories across 3 tests (2009, 2015, 2015) indicate chronic wear.
  • Four recurring emissions advisories across 2 tests (2009, 2015) suggest ongoing issues.
  • Three recurring lights advisories across 3 tests (2009, 2015, 2015) point to persistent electrical faults.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,616 miles/year, well below UK average.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars is a positive for safety.
