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 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 15,002 miles. While it has a long MOT, the inconsistent usage and repeated wear items warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: 46,825 miles by Oct 2018, then a 14,102-mile jump to Nov 2022, followed by extremely low usage (e.g., 191 miles in 2025).

Things to check

  • Mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with a 14,102-mile jump in 2022 and only 191 miles in 2025.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., strut movement 2009-10, arm bush 2023) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (e.g., worn close to limit 2011, perishing 2012, 2024) indicate a pattern of neglect.
  • A 2019 failure for an exhaust leak, though fixed, is a sign of past maintenance issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • The vehicle has a long, valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety features.
