This 2016 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 9,229 miles. While it has a long MOT, the low mileage and unexplained usage pattern warrant significant caution.

The mileage shows a significant decrease of 15,939 miles between Aug 2023 (47,717 mi) and Apr 2024 (31,778 mi), indicating a potential odometer tampering or data error.

  • Recurring steering rack gaiter issues on the nearside, a major safety concern.
