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 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 27,555 miles. The timing belt and chain are critical wear items for this age and model.

The vehicle shows consistent annual usage averaging 11,332 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 7,142 miles in 2016.

Things to check

  • Vehicle is 20 years old (2006), well past typical service intervals.
  • MOT expired 2017-10-06; current status is 'Not valid' — immediate retest or new MOT required.
  • 2012-09-12 test failed on windscreen washer (8.2.3) — a minor but unaddressed safety item.
  • Timing belt and chain wear are significant for a 2006 Vauxhall, requiring imminent inspection.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,332 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Only one minor failure (windscreen washer, 2012) and no dangerous defects recorded.
  • Recent low annual usage (7,142 miles in 2016) suggests less recent wear and tear.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good structural integrity.
