This 2017 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 10,182 miles. The single major steering failure in 2020, though rectified, combined with the mileage anomaly, warrants a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows no mileage recorded from 2017 registration to March 2020, followed by a single 10,182-mile reading on 2020-03-19, which is highly suspicious and suggests a possible odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • No mileage recorded from 2017 registration to March 2020 (MOT 2020-03-19) — a critical fraud indicator.
  • Major steering failure on 2020-03-19 (MOT 2020-03-19) — though rectified, this is a safety-critical system.
  • First MOT test on 2020-03-19 was a failure, not a pass — indicates a period of non-compliance.
  • Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low annual usage (4,548 miles/yr) for a 2017 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-20, offering significant peace of mind for the next three years.
  • No recurring major failures or advisories on critical safety systems (brakes, suspension, emissions) since 2020.
  • The single major failure in 2020 was immediately rectified and passed on the same day, showing prompt owner action.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its era.
