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 16 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 48,096 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, and the car's age presents significant unknown risks.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Feb 2017 (322 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike to 137,596 miles by Feb 2019, indicating a major data integrity issue.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2020-02-26, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
  • Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with implausibly low readings before Feb 2017.
  • Major suspension failure (coil spring) and emissions failure in 2011-01-26 test.
  • Major brake imbalance failure in 2011-01-26 test, indicating severe neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the car has been off-road for a while.
  • No recurring major system failures since the 2011-01-26 test, suggesting some past issues were addressed.
