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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 86,942 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
The mileage trajectory shows high usage, averaging 15,348 miles/year, with a significant drop in annual usage (7,646 miles) between Sep 2010 and Aug 2011, suggesting a period of disuse or neglect.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2014-02-24; vehicle has no valid MOT since then.
- 4 major failures recorded across 12 tests (Sep 2009, Aug 2011, Nov 2011, Feb 2013).
- Recurring major failures in lights (7 times), brakes (6 times), and suspension (6 times).
- High annual mileage (15,348 mi/yr) indicates heavy use and accelerated wear.
Working in its favour
- No specific recurring failures in steering system (only 3 advisories).
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good structural integrity.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, no suspicious drops or round numbers.
