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 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 26,134 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring anti-roll bar and exhaust issues, plus the extremely low mileage, present substantial risks.

The vehicle shows only 26,134 miles over 21 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 26,134 miles over 21 years (Sep 2008).
  • Recurring anti-roll bar link failures (Sep 2009, Sep 2012, Sep 2013).
  • Recurring exhaust system failures (Sep 2009, Sep 2012, Sep 2014).
  • MOT history shows a 5-year gap (2015–2024) with no recorded tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
