This 2005 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 34,513 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows a significant mileage increase of 29,280 miles between Nov 2009 and Nov 2010, followed by a 5-year period of only 58 miles, indicating a major discrepancy.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 29,280 miles added Nov 2009, then only 58 miles for 5 years (Apr 2012).
- Recurring Steering advisories: 6 instances across 2 tests (Mar 2017, Nov 2010) indicate persistent wear.
- High annual mileage: 13,221 miles/year is significantly above UK average (8,000/year).
- Tyre and brake failures: Multiple failures (Nov 2010, Apr 2012) suggest reactive maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2018-03-05, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2005 model is excellent.
