AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Vauxhall has 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 25,729 miles. The 'Not valid' MOT status and high mileage demand extreme caution.

The vehicle shows exceptionally high early mileage (66,416 miles/yr equivalent 2012-2013) followed by a significant drop to 6,878 miles/year (Oct 2018), indicating a potential odometer fraud or a major change in usage.

Things to check

  • Vehicle is currently not valid for MOT (expired 2019-10-10).
  • Unusually high early mileage (66,416 mi/yr 2012-2013) followed by a significant drop.
  • First MOT test (Oct 2018) was conducted 14 years after the vehicle's first registration.
  • First MOT test (Oct 2018) recorded 101,704 miles, a 14-year-old vehicle, indicating high usage.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • No MOT failures recorded on the single test (Oct 2018).
  • The single MOT test (Oct 2018) passed without any major defects.
  • The vehicle has a consistent mileage history since its first MOT in 2018.
