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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 20,330 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with recurring safety-critical issues, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,452 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,433 miles between Mar 2020 and Mar 2021).

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,452 mi/yr) for a 17-year-old vehicle.
  • Five test failures across 13 MOTs, including suspension and brakes.
  • Recurring advisories on steering rack, coil springs, and ball joints.
  • High-concern advisories on brake discs (Oct 2025) and registration plate lamp (Oct 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good safety features for its age.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects in the last 2 years.
