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. However, a significant recurring steering failure and very low annual usage warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 3,629 miles per year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 2,224 miles between Jul 2024 and Jul 2025).
Things to check
- Recurring steering failures (Jul 2020, Jul 2025) indicate a persistent, unresolved issue.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,629 mi/yr) suggests minimal use, potentially affecting component lifespan.
- Two major failures for the same component (track rod end ball joint dust cover) in Jul 2020 and Jul 2025.
- The 2025-07-15 failure for an insecure track rod end dust cover, a safety-critical component, was not immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-14, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected in the MOT history.
- All previous failures and advisories were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
- Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use, potentially reducing wear on certain components.
