This 2016 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 17,198 miles.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,853 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating light usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2021, Oct 2022) and a DANGEROUS bulge (Oct 2020) suggest chronic tyre neglect.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Oct 2022) indicate a history of brake wear and potential underlying issues.
- Major suspension failure (Oct 2022) for a fractured coil spring points to a lack of preventative maintenance.
- The 2020-10-02 MOT failure for a dangerous tyre bulge and ineffective wiper, followed by a retest, is a red flag for reactive repairs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,853 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential lower wear.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
