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

This 2009 Vauxhall has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 15,077 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a valid MOT make it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,965 miles/yr, averaging only 15,077 miles over 17 years, which is highly unusual and warrants immediate investigation.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres worn close to limit (Jul 2018) escalated to dangerous failure (Jul 2019).
  • DANGEROUS defect: Rear brake pads worn to 1.5mm (Jul 2021) escalated to dangerous failure (Aug 2024).
  • Recurring major failures: Lights (4 failures), Emissions (3 failures), Engine/Oil (1 failure), Suspension (1 failure).
  • MOT validity gap: No MOT recorded from 2014-06-26 to 2017-02-27 (3-year gap).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe and reliable vehicle.
  • Consistent mileage: Despite low annual usage, the mileage trajectory is consistent and shows no anomalies.
  • No odometer fraud: Mileage readings are sequential and show no decreases or suspicious patterns.
