This 2004 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 11,959 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
The MOT history shows a 4-year gap (Jan 2018-Apr 2022) with no recorded mileage, followed by a 13-mile decrease in April 2023, indicating a severe data integrity issue or potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Critical 4-year MOT gap: No test recorded for Jan 2018–Apr 2022, making vehicle's roadworthiness unverified.
- Mileage anomaly: 13-mile decrease on 2023-04-20 (33,431 mi to 33,418 mi) is a major red flag for odometer integrity.
- Vehicle is untaxed: DVLA data shows 'Untaxed' status, indicating no current tax payment and potential legal issues.
- No valid MOT: The MOT expired 2024-05-04, and no subsequent test has been recorded, making the vehicle unroadworthy.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a high safety standard for its age.
- Single major failure: The 2023-04-20 failure for 'Lights' was immediately rectified on the same day.
- Consistent recent passes: The 2023-05-01 retest PASS shows the owner addressed the initial failure promptly.
- No recurring failures: The MOT history shows no pattern of repeated failures on the same system.
