AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Vauxhall has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 24,001 miles. While mileage is low, the repeated advisories for critical safety systems demand thorough investigation.
The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage, averaging only 5,227 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, suggesting periods of inactivity or very light use.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories from 2018 to 2025 indicate chronic neglect.
- Suspension arm and coil spring failures and advisories in 2019, 2021, and 2022 point to structural wear.
- Brake hose corrosion was a MAJOR failure in 2021 and 2022, and an ADVISORY in 2025.
- Wiper blade condition escalated from MINOR (2019) to MAJOR (2025), suggesting poor maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-22, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety design.
