AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2005 Vauxhall has 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 14,410 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and extensive advisory history present significant future repair risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,317 miles per year, with a suspicious 1,260-mile increase between Oct 2022 and Oct 2022 retests, and a 12,101-mile jump between Sep 2025 and Sep 2025 retests.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: Brakes (12+ advisories), Suspension (10+ advisories), and Corrosion (4+ advisories) across multiple tests.
  • Dangerous defect: Nearside Rear Tyre had a tear (Jan 2020 advisory) that escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2022 failure).
  • Extensive corrosion advisories: Subframe, suspension arm, and exhaust system repeatedly noted since 2020.
  • Service gaps: No MOT recorded for 2021, 2023, and 2024, suggesting periods of inactivity or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing responsive owner action.
  • No recurring failures of the same system in the last 3 years, suggesting some issues were addressed.
