AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2006 Vauxhall has 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 13,148 miles. The combination of unresolved major defects and unexplained low usage makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a 20-year gap in recorded mileage from 2006 to 2019, followed by suspiciously low annual usage (averaging 3,088 miles/year) from 2019 onwards, raising serious integrity concerns.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2026-05-19; vehicle is currently not road legal.
- Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious: 234 miles/year from 2006 to 2019, then 3,088 miles/year from 2019 onwards.
- May 2026 MOT failure for brakes, tyres, suspension, and wipers — no subsequent PASS recorded.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (4 times), windscreen (2 times), and lights (2 times) across 8 tests.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
- No recorded odometer fraud or mileage decreases in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests since 2009, despite the recent failure.
- No outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is indicated by the provided MOT data.
