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 9,381 miles. The very low mileage (47,491 miles) is a significant red flag for potential odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows only 47,491 miles over 15 years, which is a critical anomaly and suggests potential odometer tampering, far below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • AVOID: This 2011 Vauxhall has a deeply concerning MOT history with 5 failures and 3 dangerous defects.
  • MILEAGE FRAUD: The vehicle shows only 47,491 miles over 15 years, a critical anomaly far below UK average.
  • DANGEROUS DEFECTS: 3 DANGEROUS tyre defects and 2 DANGEROUS brake defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • SERVICE GAPS: A 5-year MOT gap (2019) indicates a period of unrecorded use or potential fraud.

Working in its favour

  • MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until May 2027.
  • No Recent Failures: The most recent MOT (May 2026) passed after addressing prior advisories.
  • Euro NCAP Rating: 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • No Outstanding Recalls: No specific recalls are indicated in the provided MOT history.
