AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2007 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 75,131 miles. While recent tests show resolution, the pattern of recurring issues and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage from 2010 to 2015 (e.g., 731 miles in Oct 2015), followed by a significant increase in annual usage, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2016-10-14; vehicle is currently untaxed and not valid for road use.
- Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage (747 mi/yr equivalent) from 2010 to 2015.
- Recurring major failures in lights (7 times), brakes (3 times), and tyres (4 times) across 12 tests.
- Five test failures in 12 MOTs, with 7 passes, indicates a reactive maintenance approach.
Working in its favour
- Recent MOT pass in Oct 2015 after a period of low usage.
- No recurring failures on the same system after Oct 2015.
- Consistent annual mileage increases after 2015, suggesting normal use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good structural integrity.
