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 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 91,337 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the repeated issues with brakes and corrosion suggest substantial upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 15,812 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across 10 MOT tests (2009-2015) indicate systemic neglect.
  • High mileage (156,394 miles) for a 2006 vehicle suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Multiple brake pipe corrosion advisories (2011, 2012) and failures (2013) point to a major safety concern.
  • The 2015-11-2015 MOT advisory for 'Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin' is a clear warning of imminent brake replacement.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases, showing no signs of tampering or unusual patterns.
