This 2006 Vauxhall has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 27,715 miles. However, the vehicle has been off the road for several years, and the timing belt is likely due for replacement.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,123 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but there is a significant 2021 MOT gap.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2026-02-20; vehicle is currently on SORN, not roadworthy.
- Two major MOT failures (Sep 2018, Feb 2022) and recurring brake advisories indicate past neglect.
- Brake disc advisory from Feb 2023 is still present as an advisory in the latest test (Jan 2025).
- The 2021 MOT gap suggests the vehicle was off the road for an extended period, impacting maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (8,123 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
- Recent clean MOT pass in Jan 2025, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for its age.
