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 25 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 17,962 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the underlying mechanical history warrants careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly: 72,414 miles by Feb 2019, then only 1,735 miles by Feb 2020, indicating a period of very low usage or potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (7 flags) across 3 tests indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (3 flags) across 2 tests point to consistent wear.
  • Major failure for Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction on 2020-02-01.
  • Major failure for Front Headlamp has a product on the lens so that the light output is severely reduced on 2021-03-01.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • No recent major failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since 2019, indicating light use.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers.
