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 69% pass rate and 61,536 miles. While mileage is consistent, the lack of recent safety checks and recurring emissions failures present significant risks.

Mileage is consistent, averaging 10,327 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops detected in the 2004 to 2019 MOT records.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2009 (MOT expired 2020-03-08), indicating 11 years of unverified roadworthiness.
  • Major emissions failure on 2009-05-21, a serious safety and environmental concern.
  • First registration in 2004 means this vehicle is 22 years old, with inherent age-related wear.
  • The 2007-05-16 MOT pass is the only valid test on record, with no subsequent passes.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,327 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No recorded mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the provided MOT history.
