This 2005 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 25,888 miles. The low annual mileage and consistent advisories for the same component suggest potential neglect.
Mileage is consistently low, averaging 5,610 miles/year, with a significant 2010 MOT gap and a 2010 service gap, raising questions about its maintenance history.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2008, Nov 2014, Nov 2015) indicate a persistent wear pattern.
- Major failure for Offside Front CV joint (Dec 2012) and Nearside Front CV joint (Dec 2012) suggests suspension wear.
- Major failure for Nearside Brake cable (Dec 2012) and Offside Rear coil spring (Dec 2013) points to brake and suspension neglect.
- A 2010 MOT gap (no test recorded) is a significant red flag for unexplained periods of non-use or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass (Nov 2015) after several failures, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,610 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No recurring major failures in the last 3 years, showing recent owner care.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
