AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 25,006 miles. While many issues were resolved, the sheer volume of tyre-related issues and recent advisories on exhaust and position lamp suggest a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 11,995 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage over its 10-year lifespan.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 8 tests (Oct 2020, Oct 2024, Oct 2025) indicate chronic maintenance neglect.
- Multiple tyre cuts and damage advisories (Oct 2020, Oct 2024, Oct 2025) suggest poor road handling or impact history.
- Recent advisories for exhaust and position lamp (Oct 2025) indicate imminent repair costs for the buyer.
- Five test failures (Oct 2020, Oct 2024, Oct 2025) out of 12 MOTs, with many being retests, points to a reactive maintenance approach.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage (11,995 miles/year) aligns with average UK usage, not suspiciously low or high.
