AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 35,195 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,045 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a notable dip in annual usage between 2022 and 2023.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories (e.g., Oct 2024, Oct 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- Brake system issues persist, with imbalanced brakes noted in Dec 2017 and Oct 2025.
- Tyre failures and advisories (e.g., Sep 2023, Oct 2024) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- The Oct 2025 MOT pass followed a failure, with advisories for exhaust and subframe corrosion.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,045 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided history.
