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 23 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 52,825 miles. While many issues were resolved, the repeated nature of these problems suggests a vehicle that requires ongoing and potentially costly maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,420 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a significant 1,586-mile period in 2021-2022 warrants clarification.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (2021, 2023) and advisories (2011, 2022) indicate a history of brake system neglect.
  • Recurring suspension failures (2021, 2023) and advisories (2011, 2022) suggest ongoing wear on critical safety components.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2022, 2023) escalated to dangerous defects (2023), indicating a pattern of poor maintenance.
  • The 2021-2022 period shows only 1,586 miles in a 12-month span, which is unusually low for a diesel vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until August 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 19 years, averaging 10,420 miles/year, shows no signs of odometer fraud.
  • All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests, demonstrating owner responsiveness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model year.
