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 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 30,752 miles.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,873 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage from 2019 to 2022 (5,451 miles in 12 months) and a subsequent increase.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories escalated to a DANGEROUS defect in Apr 2022, indicating a persistent wear issue.
  • Brake pad and disc advisories from 2013, 2018, and 2019 show a consistent, unresolved wear pattern.
  • A 2020 service gap is noted, suggesting potential periods of neglect or off-road use.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating is excellent, but the vehicle's age and recurring issues are a concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage averaging 9,873 miles/year suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
