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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 9,460 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the very low mileage and recurring issues warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: 41,207 miles over 13 years (average 3,139 miles/year), well below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, suggesting potential odometer issues or very limited use.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 41,207 miles over 13 years (Jan 2013 to Feb 2026).
- Recurring suspension advisories (Jan 2023, Feb 2026) indicate ongoing wear and tear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Feb 2026) suggest a pattern of neglect or poor road conditions.
- Very low annual mileage (3,139 miles/year) for a 2013 vehicle is a major red flag.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 3 years.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures (e.g., Feb 2026 retest).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
