AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2014 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 14,733 miles. While mileage is low, the consistent need for repairs suggests potential underlying issues.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,406 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 996 miles from May 2021 to May 2022).

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (Jun 2019, May 2023, May 2025) and advisories (e.g., May 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Multiple major emissions failures (Jun 2019, May 2024) and advisories (e.g., May 2023) point to ongoing engine management issues.
  • Consistent advisories for worn brake discs (Jun 2019, May 2025) and tyres (May 2023) suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • The extremely low annual mileage (3,406 miles/yr) for a 2014 vehicle is a significant red flag for potential long-term storage or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until May 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
