2007 VAUXHALL LIMOUSINE2.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent result is clean, the failure just one week prior to that successful test highlighted significant mechanical neglect, including a leaking hydraulic brake caliper, binding brakes, and severely worn pads on both axles. This suggests that critical components are only addressed once they reach a point of legal failure or immediate danger. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year with a total of 56,362 miles. There are notable gaps in usage, such as the two-year period between July 2022 and July 2024 where the car covered only 1,443 miles. Such low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake hardware due to mechanical seizing, which is consistent with the frequent failures of windscreen wipers and brake systems seen in the record. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system, as the history shows a persistent issue with thin pads and binding calipers dating back to 2022. The 2025 failure for a leaking nearside rear caliper indicates that internal seals may be perished from age or infrequent use. Given the previous failures of anti-roll bar ball joints and insecure exhaust mounts, a thorough check of the entire suspension and the structural integrity of the exhaust hangers is required to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed during the periods of low use.
