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

This 2014 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 32,662 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories and the timing belt issue require careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,263 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage over 12 years.

Things to check

  • The timing belt advisory (noted in community knowledge) is a significant future cost for a 2014 vehicle.
  • The 2019-05-14 MOT failure with no defect details is a red flag for unaddressed safety issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Valid MOT until 08/04/2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage (9,263 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage, not suspicious.
