AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2001 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 24,404 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring issues and low mileage for its age present significant risks.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,485 miles per year, with a significant 2010 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings.
Things to check
- 2010 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for 2010, suggesting potential SORN or off-road use.
- Brake system failures: Major brake failure in Feb 2013 and recurring advisories (e.g., juddering 2008-09-11).
- Suspension advisories: Macpherson strut movement noted in Sep 2006 and Sep 2007 tests.
- Windscreen failures: Major windscreen failure in Sep 2006 and washer advisory in Sep 2006.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT: Currently holds a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No recent failures: The most recent MOT in Feb 2013 passed without any major defects.
- Consistent retests: All 3 failures were immediately rectified and retested successfully.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating from 2017, suggesting good structural integrity.
