This 2021 Vauxhall has 5 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 20,825 miles. The most recent MOT in May 2026 passed cleanly, but the history of brake advisories escalating to dangerous failures is a significant concern.
Mileage is consistent, averaging 10,286 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- 2024-04-17: First MOT failed due to a damaged windscreen and ineffective wipers.
- 2025-04-24: Second MOT failed due to dangerous rear brake pads and a damaged windscreen.
- 2024-04-17 & 2025-04-24: Recurring brake advisories (pads, discs) escalated to dangerous failures.
- 2025-04-24: Major failure for windscreen damage and ineffective wipers.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until May 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like engine or transmission.
- Recent clean MOT pass in May 2026, showing current good condition.
