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 24 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 20,741 miles. The vehicle's age and past issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal annual usage of 6,396 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent increase in annual mileage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (coil springs) in 2008 and 2009 indicate structural neglect.
  • Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Jul 2024) and Offside Rear Tyre (Aug 2018) show recurring tyre wear advisories.
  • The 2005 Vauxhall is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
  • The vehicle's 21-year age means significant accumulated wear and potential future repairs.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-22, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (6,396 miles/year) suggests regular use without long periods of inactivity.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering since 2009.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
