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

This 2017 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 8,860 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the repeated failures and advisories for critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,120 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2024-2025.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2025): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • Recurring DANGEROUS tyre defect (Apr 2023) and MAJOR windscreen washer failure (Apr 2023) indicate owner neglect.
  • Multiple recurring advisories for steering ball joint (Apr 2023, Apr 2025) and emissions (Apr 2023, Apr 2025) suggest systemic issues.
  • The 2025-04-26 retest PASS followed a 2025-04-26 FAIL for windscreen washer, a critical safety item.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-04 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,120 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
