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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 24,122 miles. While mileage is consistent, the number of advisories and failures for a 15-year-old vehicle warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,611 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (7 items) across multiple tests, including a serious shock absorber leak (Jul 2024).
- Recurring brake advisories (6 items) and a major failure (Jul 2024) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
- Dangerous steering rack defect (Jul 2024) and a dangerous tyre bulge (Mar 2015) highlight past safety concerns.
- Multiple windscreen-related advisories (4 items) and a major failure (Oct 2025) point to a recurring issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,611 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
