This 2016 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 33,046 miles. However, a persistent oil leak advisory across multiple tests, combined with a recent timing chain/cambelt issue flagged by the community, presents significant mechanical risks.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,666 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Persistent oil leak advisory across 3 MOTs (2020, 2021, 2022)
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-29, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,666 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
