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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 66,523 miles. The high mileage and recurring advisories on critical safety systems further compound the risks.

The vehicle shows extremely high annual usage of 19,335 miles/yr, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/yr, with a 12-year gap in MOT records from 2009-2018.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2019-09-18, rendering the vehicle unroadworthy and uninsurable.
  • Critical 12-year MOT history gap (2009-2018) indicates the vehicle was likely off-road or unrecorded.
  • Extremely high annual mileage (19,335 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) signals heavy wear.
  • Recurring advisories on critical safety systems (brakes, seatbelt) suggest underlying issues or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • No recorded failures on the 2018-09-19 retest, indicating immediate issues were addressed.
  • The 2018-09-19 retest PASS shows the vehicle was deemed roadworthy at that specific point.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
