AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2017 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 45,221 miles. The mileage history shows a significant drop in usage between 2023 and 2024, raising questions about its maintenance during that period.

The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (48 mi/yr equivalent) between May 2023 and February 2024, followed by normal usage, indicating a potential period of inactivity or storage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Feb 2025, Feb 2026) indicate a long-term neglect of critical safety components.
  • Persistent steering rack play advisories (May 2023, May 2023) and ball joint play (May 2023) suggest chronic suspension issues.
  • A major failure for rear service brake fluctuation (Feb 2026) and a major failure for rear tyre damage (Feb 2026) highlight recent critical defects.
  • The significant drop in mileage between May 2023 and February 2024 (48 mi/yr equivalent) is a major red flag for potential neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed its MOT tests, albeit with recurring advisories.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
