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 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 19,005 miles. While it has a valid MOT until May 2026, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2010 (227 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a 3-year unverified gap (Apr 2010–May 2013), and then a significant spike in usage from 2013 onwards.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2025-05-01 MOT test.
  • Recurring suspension and steering advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2020, 2025).
  • Unverified mileage for 3 years (Apr 2010–May 2013) raises data integrity concerns.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint on 2025-05-01 MOT test.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-05-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage anomalies detected since the 3-year gap in 2010.
  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial advisories.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2013, showing recent care.
