This 2013 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 12,810 miles. The extremely low annual mileage (3,655 miles/yr) also raises concerns about long-term reliability and maintenance.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,655 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 and 2021 (23,233 mi to 27,204 mi).
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (Nov 2022, Nov 2023) suggest a potential underlying issue.
- Major brake failure in Nov 2024, with a related advisory in Nov 2025, indicates a recent but unresolved issue.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,655 mi/yr) for a 2013 vehicle is a significant concern for long-term reliability.
- Engine oil and coolant advisories from the Nov 2025 MOT require immediate attention and cost.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory over its 13-year lifespan.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2013 model is excellent.
