This 2006 Vauxhall has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 14,084 miles. The vehicle has been off-road for significant periods, and its low annual mileage for its age is a major red flag.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 4,784 miles per year, with a significant 7-year gap (2019-2022) where no MOT records are available, indicating periods of inactivity or off-road status.
Things to check
- Deeply compromised MOT history with 6 failures and 6 passes across 12 tests.
- Recurring major failures in critical safety systems (brakes, suspension, exhaust).
- Persistent advisories for worn tyres and steering components across multiple tests.
- Significant 7-year MOT gap (2019-2022) with no recorded tests or mileage.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until May 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recorded dangerous defects or immediate safety failures in the recent history.
- Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage, shows no fraud.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
