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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 27,188 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage and a history of SORN status also warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Nov 2021 (449 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, indicating potential periods of inactivity or storage.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures on brakes (Nov 2019 advisory, Nov 2021 failure) and suspension (14 advisories across 5 tests).
  • Suspension arm and steering rack advisories are recurring, indicating chronic wear on critical safety components.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN status for an extended period, suggesting periods of non-use or neglect.
  • Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage before Nov 2021 (449 mi/yr equivalent).

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until Dec 2023, indicating it recently passed a basic roadworthiness test.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars is excellent for a 2005 model.
  • The car has a consistent service history with regular MOT tests since 2008.
