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 16 MOT tests on record with a 50% pass rate and 23,538 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer volume of past issues and the 2015 service gap warrant extreme caution.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 10,839 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2015 MOT gap is concerning.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures (6 major) and advisories (3 related) across 16 tests indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring light failures (6 major) and advisories (2 related) across 16 tests point to systemic electrical issues.
  • Recurring brake pad and disc advisories (6 total) across 16 tests suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • The 2015 MOT gap is a significant red flag, suggesting the vehicle may have been off-road or neglected.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,839 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with a long history of recurring failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety features.
