This 2017 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 55,343 miles. While mileage is high, the recent low annual usage is a significant red flag for a vehicle of this age.
The vehicle recorded high annual mileage (12,882 mi/yr) until Jan 2023, but then exhibited suspiciously low usage (625 mi/yr equivalent) from Jan 2024 to Jan 2025, and only 1,164 mi/yr from Jan 2025 to Jan 2026, indicating a significant change in driving habits.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure (pads <1.5mm) on 2021-01-22, indicating severe neglect.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Jan 2020, Jan 2021) and steering track rod dust cover issues (Jan 2022, Jan 2025) suggest chronic wear.
- Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Jan 2025 (625 mi/yr equivalent) and Jan 2026 (1,196 mi/yr equivalent) after high initial usage.
- Offside Rear Inner Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (Jan 2022) and Offside Rear Outer Tyre slightly damaged (Jan 2022) indicate significant tyre wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-24, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major structural corrosion or chassis failures recorded in its MOT history.
- Consistent high mileage in early years (up to 106k miles by Jan 2023) suggests regular use.
- Recent low mileage (Jan 2025 onwards) may indicate a change in the vehicle's life stage or owner's needs.
