AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 82,331 miles. While many issues were resolved, the pattern of recurring suspension and tyre advisories suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 29,202 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage between 2014 and 2015.

Things to check

  • Five major brake failures recorded across multiple MOT tests (e.g., Aug 2014, Aug 2015, Aug 2016).
  • High annual mileage of 29,202 miles/yr (Dec 2009, Jan 2011, Mar 2013) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Recurring suspension and tyre advisories (e.g., Mar 2013, Aug 2015, Aug 2016) indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
  • The vehicle has been untaxed since its last MOT expired in 2017, suggesting a period of non-compliance.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT history with all failures promptly rectified, showing responsible ownership.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, which is a positive for this high-mileage vehicle.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) provides a high level of safety assurance for a 2007 model.
  • The car has a long, documented service history with multiple MOT tests and corresponding advisory/fix patterns.
