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 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 12,379 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and recent failures warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 7,548 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a notable increase in usage from 2013 onwards.
Things to check
- Multiple recurring failures: Brakes (4 major), Tyres (2 major), Suspension (2 major), and Lights (3 major) across 9 tests.
- Recent MOT failure (Nov 2015) for handbrake, position lamp, and brake system indicates immediate repair needs.
- Consistent pattern of suspension component failures (CV joint, track rod, ball joint) from 2012 to 2015.
- Brake system failures and advisories in 2012, 2013, and 2015 suggest chronic issues.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,548 mi/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain wear.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its era.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit recently expired (2015-09-01).
