This 2006 Vauxhall has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 26,755 miles. This, combined with a 20-year history of recurring mechanical failures and advisories, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 26,755 miles over 20 years, averaging 7,772 miles/year, which is consistent with UK driving.
Things to check
- MOT not valid since 2024-06-26 — cannot be legally driven.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (2019, 2023) and steering (2010, 2023).
- Recurring suspension advisories (2019, 2021, 2023) and subframe corrosion (2021).
- Multiple advisories for ball joints, anti-roll bar linkages, and exhaust system (2023).
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage for its age (7,772 miles/year).
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a safe vehicle.
- The vehicle has a long, documented service history from 2004–2011.
