AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 28,942 miles. However, a pattern of recurring brake and suspension issues, combined with a recent timing belt advisory, warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 6,834 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine mileage.
Things to check
- Major failure for imbalanced front brakes (Mar 2022) and fractured offside front coil spring (Mar 2022) indicate past neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jun 2020, Apr 2021) suggest a history of wear and tear on critical safety components.
- Engine oil advisory noted in Jun 2020 and Apr 2021, though resolved, points to a pattern of maintenance oversight.
- Timing belt advisory from Mar 2026 is a significant upcoming cost for this 2013 petrol engine.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind and significant cost avoidance.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (6,834 mi/yr) suggests a well-maintained vehicle for its age.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, which is a strong positive.
- Recent MOT pass (Mar 2026) after addressing a timing belt advisory, indicating responsible ownership.
