This 2005 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,264 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-year MOT gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 16,264 miles over 21 years, with a 3-year gap (2013-2014) and only 153 miles recorded between Sep 2016 and Jun 2015.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2018-09-23; vehicle is currently untaxed and un-MOT'd, requiring immediate re-registration.
  • Recurring major failures: Tyres (Sep 2010, 2010), Suspension (Sep 2013, 2017), and Lights (Sep 2011, 2014, 2017).
  • Recurring advisories: Brakes (7 advisories across 3 tests from Sep 2012 to Sep 2017).
  • Mileage anomaly: Only 153 miles recorded between Sep 2016 and Jun 2015, indicating very low usage or potential fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2017-09-23, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No recurring failures on the same system in the last 2 years, suggesting owner addressed critical issues.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases (albeit low) since 2017, showing no recent neglect.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
