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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 25,048 miles. While mileage is consistent, the recurring suspension and tyre advisories, combined with a timing chain issue, warrant careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,356 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has decreased significantly since 2020.
Things to check
- Feb 2025 MOT advisory: Nearside Rear Shock absorber worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (5.3.3 (b)) — immediate replacement likely.
- Recurring suspension failures: Macpherson strut (Mar 2022) and coil spring (Feb 2022) failures indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories: Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Feb 2024) and Offside Front Tyre (Apr 2019) — consistent wear pattern.
- Timing chain reported as a high-risk issue in community knowledge — verify completion with Vauxhall dealer.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,356 miles/year, well below UK average.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
- All 3 MOT failures were promptly rectified and passed on the same or next day.
- Recent Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good structural integrity.
