As you mentioned you bought it from Godaddy auctions, are you sure it is not a penalized domain or with Chinese spam or PBN etc. in the past. Have you checked archive.org, screenshots.com, majestic and ahrefs anchor texts for any signs of PBN, ugg boots etc. spam or Chinese spam? Are you sure the domain you bought was clean? Did you check the history of the domain before purchasing. As a popular expired domains seller, I can say that "most" of the high stats expired domains are some or the other kind of spam. Did you check the reasons why it got to DA 25+. Was it clean links or just spam?
Ah! Sorry. I just realized that you found the answer yourself only after posting my post/reply. Hope this helps you get an idea of what domain to go for in the future. As a popular expired domains seller, I can say that DA doesn't mean shit in case of expired domain unless it is backed by good history and links. Search my previous posts in the forum for the list of steps which needs to be checked in case of expired domains before purchasing them. I have mentioned it several times in the forum in the last few weeks too.
