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 16 MOT tests on record with a 50% pass rate and 91,674 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and consistent failure rates make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 19,361 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, indicating heavy wear and tear.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2018-04-18; current MOT status is 'Not valid' (critical).
  • 8 major failures across critical systems (suspension, brakes, lights, steering) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring major failures in the same year (e.g., Feb 2014, Apr 2018) suggest a pattern of minimal repairs.
  • High annual mileage (19,361 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) signals accelerated wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (
