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

This 2005 Vauxhall has 22 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 13,073 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 21-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,921 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Feb 2025: Major failure for excessively corroded brake pipes (front to rear) — critical safety defect.
  • Feb 2025: Major failure for exhaust system corrosion — indicates severe structural rust.
  • Feb 2025: Major failure for incorrect direction indicator colour (both sides) — basic safety system.
  • Feb 2025: Offside Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin advisory — imminent brake replacement cost.

Working in its favour

  • No failures recorded for the 2012–2018 period, indicating a period of good maintenance.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests since 2019, despite the recent failures.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), suggesting good inherent safety features.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
