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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 10,196 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 15-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 7,567 miles/year, averaging 10,196 miles over 15 years, which is highly unusual for a 2011 car.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Tyres worn close to legal limit (Aug 2018) — immediate safety concern.
- DANGEROUS defect: Brake disc worn, pitted or scored (Aug 2018) — critical safety component.
- Recurring major failures: Brakes failed 6 times (2018–2024), Emissions 2 times (2020–2024), Suspension 2 times (2021–2024).
- Recurring advisories: Tyres (6+ tests), Brake discs (5+ tests), Coil springs (3+ tests), Subframe (3+ tests).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until August 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage of ~7,500 miles since 2018, despite low total.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
