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 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 29,192 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in these areas warrants a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 8,363 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 1-year gap (2012-2013) in recorded MOT tests.
Things to check
- 2012–2013: Unexplained 1-year MOT gap (Aug 2012 to Jul 2013) raises questions about vehicle maintenance.
- 2011–2013: Recurring steering and brake failures/advisories indicate systemic neglect of safety-critical systems.
- 2011–2013: Recurring suspension and CV joint advisories suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
- 2013-07-16: Latest MOT advisory for windscreen, brake pads, discs, coil spring, and anti-roll bar link indicates significant upcoming repairs.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,363 miles/year since registration.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation detected in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate from 2013, albeit with numerous advisories.
