Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection on 20 August 2025 at 119,074 miles yielded a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just one week prior on 13 August 2025 at 119,019 miles, which suggests a minor rectifyable item such as a bulb or a minor sensor was addressed immediately before the re-test. At a recorded mileage of 119,074 miles over a 24-year span, the vehicle has averaged approximately 4,961 miles per year. This low usage is typical for a car of this age, indicating limited exposure or long periods of storage. The data shows a steady progression, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 2,700 miles in the year leading up to August 2025. This regularity suggests the drivetrain and mechanical components have not been subjected to high-mileage stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low-age Vauxhall models are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, low mileage often leads to rubber components like suspension bushes and tyres degrading due to age rather than wear. Inspect the brake system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as vehicles that sit infrequently frequently suffer from internal oxidation that a standard MOT does not always highlight.
