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 20 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 13,588 miles. Recurring advisories for brakes, suspension, and tyres indicate ongoing wear and maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows very low usage averaging 2,720 miles/year, with a critical anomaly: 44,874 miles in Oct 2018, then only 1,298 miles in Oct 2021, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 56,705 miles (Oct 2025) vs typical 87,786 miles for a 2005 VAUXHALL.
  • Mileage anomaly: 44,874 miles (Oct 2018) followed by only 1,298 miles (Oct 2021) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Oct 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022) and pad advisories (Oct 2019, 2021, 2022) — consistent wear pattern.
  • Recurring suspension coil spring advisories (Oct 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) — 7+ years of wear.

Working in its favour

  • Clean MOT pass record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures recorded.
  • Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage (low, not high), suggesting light use and less wear.
