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 25 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 25,697 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated system failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 4,308 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2018 onwards (e.g., 2,615 miles in 2020).

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2024): Offside Front Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system at flexi pipe jo
  • Dangerous brake failure on 2018-08-24 (test 1) — immediate safety concern.
  • Dangerous brake failure on 2023-08-25 (test 1) — recurring safety issue.
  • Recurring steering rack advisories across 4 separate tests (2018, 2022, 2023, 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-25, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate repairs for failures.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
