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

This 2006 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 37,312 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of recurring issues and recent advisories on critical components warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage, averaging 9,436 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but low for its age.

Things to check

  • May 2018: Subframe corroded advisory, a serious structural concern for a 20-year-old vehicle.
  • May 2018: Shock absorber advisory, indicating suspension wear that needs immediate attention.
  • May 2018: Brake disc advisory, suggesting brakes are nearing the end of their service life.
  • May 2018: Engine oil advisory, a recurring issue that points to potential internal wear.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,436 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • All 5 test failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
