This 2013 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 31,588 miles. A recent major failure for a fractured coil spring and a serious shock absorber leak, combined with a history of dangerous tyre defects, warrants careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,300 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, showing normal usage for its age.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2020) escalated to dangerous failures (Jul 2021), indicating a persistent wear pattern.
- Major suspension failure (May 2024) for a fractured coil spring and serious shock absorber leak.
- Major brake failure (May 2024) for an unspecified issue, though rectified.
- Major windscreen wiper failure (Jun 2017) for both sides, though rectified.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-05-21, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 7,300 miles/year.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., engine, transmission) in the MOT history.
