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 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 73,441 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and high usage warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,901 miles per year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 6,639 miles in 2014).
Things to check
- High mileage (178,506 miles) for a 2002 vehicle suggests significant wear and tear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2009, 2013) and shock absorber advisories (2009, 2013) indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
- The vehicle has been on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) since 2015, implying it has not been used or taxed for years.
- The 2015-10-31 MOT expiry date is far in the past, suggesting the vehicle may not have a current, valid MOT certificate.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- The vehicle has a consistent, high mileage history, suggesting regular use and maintenance.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
