This 2018 Vauxhall has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 41,208 miles. The recurring nature of tyre advisories and the timing chain issue from community knowledge present significant risks.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,569 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low usage of 5,577 miles between Jan 2025 and Jan 2026.
Things to check
- Jan 2026 MOT failure for a DANGEROUS Nearside Front Outer Tyre defect, indicating a critical safety lapse.
- Brake pad advisories (Jan 2026) and a windscreen wiper defect (Jan 2023) indicate a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- Community-reported 'timing chain' and 'timing belt' issues for this model, which are expensive to repair.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until January 2027, providing peace of mind for over three years.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,569 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
