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 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 27,349 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and potential odometer issues warrants extreme caution.

The mileage trajectory shows a suspiciously low 27,349 miles over 21 years, with a critical 32,129-mile discrepancy on 13 Feb 2017, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below average: 27,349 miles over 21 years (UK average: 87,786 miles).
  • Critical mileage anomaly on 13 Feb 2017: 71,102 miles (FAIL) vs. 38,973 miles (PASS) — 32,129-mile difference.
  • Recurring major failures: Tyres (4 failures), Suspension (3 failures), and Lights (2 failures) across 13 tests.
  • Exhaust system repeatedly flagged: ADVISORY on Nov 2011, FAIL on Nov 2012, and subsequent advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
  • Consistent retest pattern: All 4 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
  • No recent major failures: The last MOT pass was in Feb 2017, showing a period of basic roadworthiness.
  • Diesel engine: Offers good fuel economy and potential for long service intervals if maintained.
