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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 17,797 miles. While mileage is low, the history of failures and advisories indicates significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,907 miles per year, with a notable spike in 2024 (9,240 miles) and a significant jump in 2025 (11,674 miles) after years of minimal driving.

Things to check

  • Recurring coil spring failures (Nov 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2022) and advisories (Oct 2025) indicate chronic suspension wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2018, Nov 2019, Nov 2021, Nov 2023) and failures (Nov 2020, Nov 2021) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • Recent advisories for coil spring (Oct 2025) and shock absorber (Oct 2025) on a 15-year-old car point to imminent replacement costs.
  • The 2011 Vauxhall's timing belt is likely due for replacement, a significant and costly service item for this age of vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing responsive owner action.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
