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 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 10,045 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the repeated nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,104 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring DANGEROUS brake failures (May 2021, May 2023) and suspension failures (May 2021, May 2023) indicate structural neglect.
  • Offside Rear Service brake had no recorded effort at a wheel (May 2023), a dangerous defect.
  • Offside Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (May 2023), a major failure.
  • Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (May 2023), a major failure.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until July 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,104 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
