AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 17,217 miles. While mileage is low, the repeated failures and advisories for critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage, averaging only 4,383 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2023 (2,923 miles in 2023).
Things to check
- Recurring major failures: Windscreen (2020), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (2020), and Steering (2025).
- Recurring minor failures: Windscreen wiper (2020, 2025) and Track rod end dust cover (2020, 2025).
- Recurring brake disc advisories (2020, 2022) suggest ongoing wear and tear on critical safety components.
- Significant drop in annual mileage from 2019 to 2023 (2,923 miles in 2023) indicates a change in usage or potential storage.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,383 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- All previous failures were promptly rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day.
