AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 30,954 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories for wear items like lights and bodywork suggest a history of reactive maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,728 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but there are unexplained MOT gaps in 2021 and 2023.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Oct 2017, Jan 2022) and a DANGEROUS brake failure (Nov 2018) indicate reactive safety maintenance.
- Multiple recurring advisories for tyres (8 entries) and lights (4 entries) across 2018-2026 MOTs point to chronic wear issues.
- The 2021 and 2023 MOT gaps suggest periods of off-road use or unverified history, raising questions about maintenance during those times.
- The timing belt is a known high-risk component for this model, with no clear service history provided in the MOT record.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,728 miles/year, indicating normal usage and no odometer fraud.
- No major structural corrosion or recurring emissions failures are noted in the MOT history.
