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 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 24,986 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 24-year-old vehicle, raises significant reliability and wear concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,426 miles per year, with a significant spike in 2016-2017 (13,599 miles in 1 year) and a subsequent drop in 2018-2019 (1,451 miles in 1 year).

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (Feb 2010, Feb 2011, Feb 2012, Feb 2016).
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear coil spring incomplete (Feb 2012).
  • Brake hose advisories flagged in 3 separate tests (Feb 2016, Feb 2017).
  • Extremely low annual mileage (5,426 miles/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2017-02-15 with no failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2002 model.
