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

This 2016 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 2,431 miles. The recent suspension failure and recurring brake advisories warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,989 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 49,529 miles recorded over 10 years.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre wear advisories (Nov 2017, Nov 2018) and a DANGEROUS tyre failure (Nov 2018) indicate a historical weakness.
  • Major suspension failure (Offside Front Coil spring fractured, Nov 2022) and a related advisory (Macpherson strut play, Nov 2017) suggest ongoing chassis stress.
  • Recurring brake pad advisories (Nov 2019, Nov 2020) suggest a pattern of wear, though not yet a failure.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-01 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (4,989 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
