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

This 2011 Vauxhall has 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 28,930 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the pattern of neglect and repeated failures warrants careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 7,669 miles/year, but a significant 2020 service gap and a 2021-2022 period of very low annual mileage (e.g., +64 miles in Feb 2021) are notable.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Jan 2024 and Jan 2025 MOTs.
  • Recurring major failures in emissions (6 advisories) and exhaust (8 advisories) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent engine oil advisory noted in 12 separate MOT tests since 2014.
  • Major brake failure in Jan 2023, followed by a minor advisory in Jan 2024, indicating a reactive repair.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-31, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,669 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
