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 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 22,939 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, and the vehicle's age itself presents significant wear and tear risks.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 6,679 miles/yr, averaging only 22,939 miles over 20 years, which is highly unusual for a 2006 car.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2023-11-30 (test 121823) — immediate safety risk.
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across 8 tests (e.g., 2023-11-30, 2024-12-04).
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories across 3 tests (e.g., 2022-11-30, 2023-11-30).
- Recurring tyre wear advisories across 6 tests (e.g., 2012-06-08, 2013-08-16).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
