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 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 53,871 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a current MOT require immediate verification.

The vehicle shows high annual usage (12,405 miles/yr), but a critical 5-year MOT gap (2014-2019) and a suspiciously low 1,151 miles/yr before Mar 2019 are major red flags for mileage integrity.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low 1,151 miles/yr equivalent before Mar 2019.
  • Mileage anomaly: High annual usage (12,405 miles/yr) is above UK average (8,000).
  • MOT Gap: No MOT recorded between 2014 and 2019 (5-year gap).
  • MOT Gap: No MOT recorded between 2019 and 2020 (1-year gap).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
