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

This 2006 Vauxhall has 25 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 30,931 miles. While it has a valid MOT now, the complete absence of early records is a major red flag.

The vehicle has only 11 MOT tests on record, with its first registration in January 2006 and no earlier MOT history available, making any mileage trajectory impossible to verify.

Things to check

  • Complete absence of MOT history for the first 13 years (2006–2019) — no verifiable past.
  • First MOT test recorded on 2009-10-28 at 30,933 miles — no prior history, a major red flag.
  • Dangerous brake failure on 2009-10-28 at 30,933 miles — first recorded defect, no prior checks.
  • Recurring tyre and suspension advisories across multiple tests — consistent wear pattern, not random.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until 2026-10-29 — recently passed, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,804 miles/year) — suggests light use and less wear.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates good safety features for its era.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 3 years of MOT history.
