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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 53,424 miles. The vehicle has been on SORN since 2021, and its MOT expired in 2021, raising serious questions about its current roadworthiness and maintenance.

The vehicle shows normal annual usage of 8,963 miles/yr from 2018 to 2020, but suspiciously low mileage (534 mi/yr equivalent) was recorded before Sep 2017, indicating a period of very light or no use.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2021-09-04; vehicle has been on SORN since, indicating no current roadworthiness.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres (Aug 2018), brakes (Aug 2019), and suspension (Aug 2018) across multiple tests.
  • Suspiciously low mileage (534 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before Sep 2017, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
  • Multiple tyre failures (cuts, tread depth) on 2010-04-07 and 2010-10-14, indicating chronic wear issues.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across 3 tests, indicating no immediate safety-critical defects.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 8,963 miles/yr from 2018 to 2020, suggesting normal usage.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
  • No major structural corrosion or recurring engine failures are evident in the MOT history.
