This 2002 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 44,435 miles. While it has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating, the mileage anomaly makes this vehicle an extremely high-risk purchase.
A critical 35,980-mile decrease is observed between the Jan 2010 (114,539 mi) and Dec 2011 (78,559 mi) MOT tests, strongly suggesting odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jan 2010 (114,539 mi) and Dec 2011 (78,559 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased by 35,980 miles between Jan 2010 (114,539 mi) and Dec 2011 (78,559 mi) — a major red flag for odometer tampering.
- Four MOT failures with no defect details provided, indicating serious undisclosed issues from 2006 to 2009.
- The vehicle has been off the road since 2012 (SORN status), suggesting long-term disuse and potential for severe rust or fluid degradation.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design for its era.
- Consistent annual mileage of 7,890 miles/yr before the 2010 anomaly, suggesting normal usage for its age.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last test in 2011, implying the owner was responsive to issues at the time.
- The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting a generally safe vehicle design for its era.
