This 2018 Vauxhall has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 15,961 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high initial usage and subsequent low annual mileage warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows normal annual usage (9,420 miles/yr) from 2021 to 2023, but a significant 29,917-mile jump occurred between January 2018 registration and the first MOT in September 2021, suggesting high initial usage.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure (pads <1.5mm) on 2022-09-27, indicating severe neglect.
- Recurring steering/suspension issues: track rod dust cover (Sep 2023 MINOR) escalated to MAJOR (Sep 2025).
- Unusually high initial mileage (29,753 mi/yr equivalent) before Sep 2022, followed by low annual usage.
- Exhaust minor leak advisory (Sep 2022) and tyre damage (Sep 2022) suggest ongoing wear items.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-27, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No mileage anomalies since the initial high usage, showing consistent recent use.
- All past failures and advisories were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for 2017 model provides strong inherent safety.
