2006 Vauxhall Tigra 1.4L Petrol · OV56 JNO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with no defects recorded. While the history shows immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025, these occurred exactly one day before successful passes, suggesting that minor issues such as blown bulbs or minor adjustments were rectified instantly without indicating systemic mechanical failure. The lack of advisories on the most recent certificate indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum standards for road use despite its age and mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,740 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 12,992 miles, while it clocked another 12,268 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady annual accumulation suggests regular use which is often beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing components from seizing during long periods of standing. The total distance of 134,808 miles is typical for a Vauxhall of this era and places expected wear loads on the drivetrain and chassis. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the structural integrity of the sills and suspension components. Given the vehicle's age, corrosion is a primary concern in the rear arches and underbody, as the MOT test only flags surface rust once it becomes structurally significant. Inspect the rubber bushes for cracking and check the condition of the coil springs, as these often degrade over two decades regardless of mileage. Since the record shows no historical advisories for brakes or tyres, verifying the thickness of the discs and the depth of the tread will confirm if the owner has remained proactive with basic maintenance requirements.
