AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2009 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 21,943 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect is a significant red flag for a 17-year-old vehicle.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,834 miles/year, with a notable drop from 7,719 miles/year in 2018-2019 to 1,000 miles/year in 2020-2021, suggesting periods of minimal use or potential issues.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories (2015, 2019, 2021) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Suspension arm failures (2015, 2019) and advisories (2013, 2014) point to chronic structural wear.
  • Tyre advisories (2018, 2021) and a 2021 failure for a corroded brake pipe highlight recurring issues.
  • The vehicle has been Untaxed since the last MOT expired in 2022-10-04, requiring immediate verification.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Low mileage for its age (21,943 miles over 17 years) suggests less overall wear and tear.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe and well-designed vehicle.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate repair of failures (e.g., Sep 2018 retest) show responsive ownership.
