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 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 71,107 miles. While it has a valid MOT now, recurring issues with tyres, headlamps, and suspension indicate significant wear and potential neglect.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 17,953 miles/year, with a notable 151-mile discrepancy between July 2007 tests, suggesting a possible odometer anomaly.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage (17,953 mi/yr) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Four major failures (lights, tyres, suspension) across 10 tests indicate persistent issues.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres, headlamps, and suspension point to systemic neglect.
  • The 151-mile discrepancy between 2007-07-19 and 2007-08-01 MOT tests is a red flag for odometer integrity.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until 2011-08-16, confirming present roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner has addressed issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, despite wear.
