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 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 23,419 miles. The recurring headlamp issue and low annual mileage for its age also warrant careful consideration.

Mileage is consistent with average UK usage, showing 10,311 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but verify recent readings against service records.

Things to check

  • No current MOT status (expired 2013-06-01) — vehicle is not road legal.
  • Significant 5-year MOT history gap (2009–2013) — unexplained period of non-compliance.
  • Recurring headlamp failure (2008) and advisory (2010) — indicates ongoing electrical issues.
  • Low annual mileage (10,311 mi/yr) for a 23-year-old car — suggests limited use and potential neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies or fraud indicators.
  • No recurring major failures on critical safety systems (brakes, suspension, steering).
  • Single headlamp failure in 2008 was immediately rectified and passed retest.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5
