Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a low-mileage compact petrol car. The consistent MOT pass record without defects over the last five years suggests a level of continuity in its roadworthiness.
When viewing this 1.4L petrol Tigra, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as MOTs only test minimum safety standards. Check that all electrical components, particularly those related to the windows and central locking, are functioning correctly.
Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects since 2021, you should still inspect the tyre tread depth and brake pad wear, as these are common maintenance items that may not have triggered an MOT failure yet. Ensure the black paintwork is free from significant oxidation or clear coat failure, which can occur on older vehicles.
The 1364cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for younger drivers or those on a budget. Fuel economy for this model is typically modest, suitable for urban and suburban driving rather than heavy motorway use.
Maintenance costs for Vauxhall models of this era are generally predictable, with many parts being widely available and relatively inexpensive. Expect annual running costs to be influenced primarily by your personal insurance profile and annual mileage.
Given the lack of recorded MOT failures in the recent history, there are no specific recurring mechanical faults to look for based on this vehicle's data. However, you should inspect the suspension components and exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear in small petrol cars of this age.
Check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion, even though no structural defects have been noted in the recent MOT tests. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres and ensure they match the manufacturer's specifications.
This 2007 Vauxhall Tigra, finished in black, has covered 64,071 miles since its first registration in October 2007. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes from 2021 to 2025, notably with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent five tests. For a vehicle of this age, the mileage is relatively low, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Tigra to provide a statistical comparison.
