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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 26,155 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and recurring advisories are secondary issues compared to the fundamental absence of statutory roadworthiness verification.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (738 mi/yr equivalent) from 2019 onwards, with a significant 15-year gap in MOT history, making mileage integrity impossible to verify.

Things to check

  • Critical 15-year MOT gap (2019–2024) — no statutory roadworthiness verification.
  • Mileage anomaly: 26,155 miles in 2014, then 94,414 miles by 2018, followed by extremely low usage (738 mi/yr equivalent) from 2019 onwards.
  • Recurring steering failures (Dec 2018, Feb 2021) and advisories (Apr 2024) suggest ongoing suspension issues.
  • Recurring brake advisories (Dec 2018, Apr 2024) and tyre advisories (Dec 2018, Apr 2024) indicate significant wear items.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until August 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • No recorded dangerous defects or major failures in recent tests.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • Consistent annual mileage (8,199 mi/yr) before 2019, aligning with UK average.
