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 17 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 50,057 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and recurring issues present significant future costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,029 miles/year, with a notable spike of 21,698 miles in the 12 months to Aug 2024.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures (Oct 2018) and advisories (Jun 2022) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Multiple tyre failures (May 2021) and advisories (Feb 2020) suggest a history of neglect.
  • High annual mileage (14,029 miles/year) will accelerate wear on all components.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and Not valid for MOT, requiring immediate attention.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2025-08-30, confirming current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures demonstrate responsive ownership.
