AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2007 Vauxhall has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 20,302 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2025-09-08, the pattern of issues and low mileage raise significant concerns.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2022 (399 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Aug 2023 (258 mi/yr equivalent), followed by very low annual usage thereafter, indicating periods of prolonged inactivity.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure (Aug 2020) and subsequent dangerous disc wear (Aug 2022) indicate severe neglect.
- Recurring suspension arm corrosion advisories (Aug 2022, Aug 2024) and subframe corrosion (Aug 2024) are serious structural concerns.
- Five test failures across 12 MOTs (2018-2024) with a 2019 retest failure for brakes shows a pattern of poor maintenance.
- The vehicle has been Untaxed since the last MOT, which is a significant red flag for buyer responsibility.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a current, valid MOT certificate until 2025-09-08, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, as all readings are sequential and plausible.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design for its era.
- The car has been consistently serviced and maintained, with no major recurring electrical or transmission issues.
