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 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 34,023 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of recurring issues suggests substantial upcoming repair costs.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,557 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Four major suspension failures (Apr 2012, Mar 2013, Mar 2015) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Eight recurring tyre advisories (Dec 2009, Apr 2010, Mar 2015) escalated to failures, signifying continuous wear.
  • Offside Front Brake hose had insufficient room (Apr 2010), a recurring issue that points to poor maintenance.
  • Offside Rear position lamp excessively deteriorated (Apr 2010), a minor but recurring electrical fault.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,557 mi/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, as readings are consistent and plausible.
  • The vehicle has a long, unbroken MOT history since its first test in 2009.
