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 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 20,473 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, and there are significant unresolved safety issues.
The mileage trajectory shows a 60-mile decrease on 03 Sep 2009, and a very low average of 3,096 miles/year, which is highly suspicious for a 21-year-old vehicle.
Things to check
- No valid MOT since 2016-10-08, indicating it has been off-road for 8+ years.
- Four major failures on 03 Sep 2009 for lights, windscreen, and tyres, with no subsequent clean passes.
- Recurring suspension advisories (2015) and steering advisory (2015) suggest ongoing wear.
- Unusually low mileage (33,344 mi) for a 21-year-old vehicle, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
- No recurring major failures on the same system after initial fixes, suggesting issues were addressed.
- The 2015-10-14 retest PASS after a failure is a positive sign of owner responsiveness.
