This 2006 Vauxhall has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 40,943 miles. The vehicle's age and potential timing belt issues also present substantial future costs.

The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage of 5,943 miles/year, averaging only 2,211 miles/year in the two years leading up to its last MOT in 2020.

Things to check

  • 2012-03-05 FAILED MOT for major exhaust leak and wiper issues.
  • 2020-11-02 ADVISORY for exhaust emissions likely affected by leak.
  • 20-year-old vehicle with low mileage (40,943 mi) suggests minimal use.
  • Potential timing belt wear due to age and low mileage.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures or advisories on critical safety systems (brakes, suspension).
  • Single 2012-03-05 failure was immediately rectified and passed retest.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage suggests careful, light use.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for 2017 model provides strong safety foundation.
