AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Vauxhall has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 14,853 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age (14,853 miles in 15 years) is a significant red flag for potential underlying issues or long-term storage.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,173 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2018 to 2026, raising concerns about its maintenance and storage.
Things to check
- Extensive major suspension failures (6) and major brake failures (2) across multiple MOTs indicate chronic neglect.
- Recurring advisories for engine oil, tyres, bodywork, and subframe corrosion suggest systemic issues.
- The extremely low mileage (14,853 miles in 15 years) for a 2011 vehicle is highly unusual and warrants investigation.
- Multiple recurring advisories for the same components (e.g., suspension arm, coil spring) point to a pattern of deferred maintenance.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until February 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
- The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting good inherent safety features.
- The MOT history shows consistent retesting and immediate repairs for failures, indicating responsive ownership.
