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 27 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 52,874 miles. The vehicle's age and the number of past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,083 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (Jul 2023, Jul 2020) and advisories (Aug 2024) indicate ongoing structural wear.
  • Engine oil advisories (Jun 2025, Jul 2022) and brake pad advisories (Jul 2022, Aug 2024) are recurring issues.
  • Wheel bearing advisory (Jul 2022) escalated to a major failure (Jul 2023), showing a critical safety component was neglected.
  • The 2011-09-23 MOT failure for headlamp aim and 2012-09-13 MOT failure for unknown reason are unexplained.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 08/15/2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage averaging 8,083 miles/year aligns well with typical UK usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
