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 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 70,233 miles. The single recorded MOT failure in 2008, combined with a 2019 failure and no subsequent passes, makes this vehicle unroadworthy and uninsurable.

Mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,422 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT certificate since 2020-12-10 (MOT expiry date).
  • 2019-06-20 MOT failure for Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn.
  • 2019-06-20 MOT failure for Nearside Front Headlamp light intensity severely reduced.
  • 2019-06-20 MOT failure for Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
