This 2003 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 111,729 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and high mileage demand extreme caution.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (148 mi/yr equivalent) before Jun 2012, followed by a significant spike to 17,186 miles in the 12 months to May 2014.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc failures (Oct 2008 FAIL) and advisories (Sep 2006 ADVISORY) indicate chronic neglect.
- Suspiciously low mileage (148 mi/yr equivalent) before Jun 2012 suggests periods of inactivity or potential fraud.
- Major failure for Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage (no advisory) on 2013-06-2013 suggests suspension wear.
- Brake pipe damage advisories (May 2014) on all four wheels are a significant safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with a long expiry date (2015-05-23).
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
