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 24 MOT tests on record with a 54% pass rate and 35,021 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2021-11-11, which is a critical red flag.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 7,536 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history is highly problematic.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2021-11-11; current status is 'Not valid' — immediate legal and safety concerns.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (6 times) and suspension (3 times) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Dangerous tyre defects (2 DANGEROUS) and engine oil issues (2 major) highlight severe safety and maintenance issues.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating directly contradicts the dangerous MOT history, raising serious questions about the vehicle's true condition.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 11 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,536 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017), suggesting good inherent safety features.
