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

This 2007 Vauxhall has 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 23,175 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 19-year-old vehicle, presents a critical contradiction.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,805 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2020-10-31 and 2021-10-30 indicate severe neglect.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2020-10-31, immediately after advisory, shows critical safety lapses.
  • Recurring MAJOR suspension failures (e.g., 2021-10-30) and advisories (e.g., 2020-10-30) point to chronic structural issues.
  • Recurring MAJOR brake disc failures (e.g., 2020-10-30) and advisories (e.g., 2020-10-30) indicate a pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-10-29, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing immediate repairs were made.
  • The vehicle has a long, unbroken MOT history since its first test in 2010.
