AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 19,749 miles. While these were addressed, the consistent advisories for steering and engine oil suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,544 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2021, Oct 2024) escalated to major failures (Oct 2023, Nov 2023).
- Nearside Rear Shock absorber had a serious fluid leak (Aug 2015, Aug 2016), a recurring issue.
- Offside Rear Coil spring fractured (Aug 2015, Aug 2016), another recurring suspension fault.
- Engine oil advisory noted (Aug 2015, Aug 2016), indicating a potential ongoing fluid leak.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,544 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- All major failures (lights, tyres, brakes, suspension) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
