This 2010 Vauxhall has 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 17,163 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of repeated failures and advisories on critical safety systems warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: 13,416 miles/year from 2010 to 2015, then a sharp drop to 4,440 miles/year from 2015 onwards, indicating a change in usage or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Recurring electrical failures (headlamps, lights) across 4 tests (Jul 2018, Aug 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2023).
- Persistent brake wear advisories in 9 tests (Jul 2018, Aug 2019, Aug 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024, Sep 2025).
- Recurring suspension advisories (shock absorber, exhaust) in 7 tests (Sep 2021, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024, Sep 2025).
- Unusually low annual mileage (4,440 miles/year) after 2015, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-25, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since 2015.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
