AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Vauxhall has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 21,413 miles. While it has a valid MOT now, the unexplained absence of records for over a decade is a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows normal mileage progression from 79,661 miles in April 2019 to 132,184 miles in May 2026, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Critical 19-year MOT history gap from 2010 to 2019 — no records for over a decade.
  • First MOT test on 2010-11-03 recorded 21,413 miles, but no subsequent MOT history provided.
  • Multiple recurring failures and advisories on critical safety systems like brakes and suspension.
  • Engine oil and emissions advisories are recurring across multiple tests, indicating ongoing issues.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until May 2027, indicating it is roadworthy now.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage of approximately 6,816 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
