AI verdict AVOID 43/100

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 29 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 5,588 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, and recurring advisories point to chronic neglect.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,818 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards (e.g., 3,538 miles from Jan 2020 to Jan 2021).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Brake pipe leaking (Jan 2021) — a serious safety hazard.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Lower Suspension arm corroded (Jan 2021) — structural integrity compromised.
  • Recurring Brake System failures: 13 advisories and 1 major failure across 7 tests (Jan 2020–Jan 2025).
  • Recurring Suspension Arm failures: 8 advisories and 4 failures across 4 tests (Jan 2021–Jan 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
