AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Vauxhall has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 10,313 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring failures and advisories on critical safety systems, including tyres, brakes, and suspension, indicates a history of reactive maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,102 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has decreased significantly since 2019.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (Jun 2020, Jul 2021) and coil spring fractures (Jun 2020, Jul 2021) suggest structural neglect.
- Multiple tyre advisories (Apr 2019, Jun 2020, Jul 2024) and a DANGEROUS tyre defect (Apr 2019) point to chronic under-investment in critical safety components.
- Brake pad wear advisories (Jul 2024) and a DANGEROUS brake failure (Apr 2019) indicate a pattern of minimal maintenance.
- The 15-year-old vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage (3,897–11,032 miles/year) since 2019, which can lead to accelerated wear on components.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-31, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (8,102 miles/year), suggesting no odometer fraud.
- No recurring failures on the same system since 2021, indicating issues were addressed.
