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 22,702 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the pattern of neglect and multiple system failures warrants a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,410 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2010) escalated to a failure (Feb 2013), indicating chronic wear.
  • Recurring ball joint advisories (Jan 2010) escalated to failures (Feb 2012, Feb 2013), showing persistent steering/suspension issues.
  • Multiple major failures across critical systems (windscreen, steering, brakes, lights, suspension, tyres) between 2010 and 2015.
  • The vehicle has been Untaxed since registration, which is a legal status concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,410 mi/yr) for its 19-year age, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017), indicating good structural integrity.
