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 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 36,614 miles. The vehicle is currently not valid for MOT and has a 21-year history of issues.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant decrease of 29 miles on 2018-12-19, followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 2,221 miles in 2021), indicating potential odometer fraud or a major data discrepancy.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 29 miles decrease on 2018-12-19, then very low annual usage.
  • Recurring major failures: Brakes failed 5 times, with 27 related advisories.
  • Not valid for MOT: MOT expired 2024-02-26; current status is 'Not valid'.
  • High-CONCERN advisories: All four brake pads wearing thin (Feb 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
