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 29,101 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring brake and tyre issues, coupled with a dangerous brake defect in 2018, raises significant concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 7,392 miles/year, with a notable spike of 16,866 miles in 12 months (Nov 2023) and a subsequent drop, indicating inconsistent driving patterns or periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure (excessively binding) on 2018-12-05, though immediately rectified.
- Recurring brake disc wear advisories across 6 tests (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2025).
- Recurring tyre condition advisories across 3 tests (2021, 2022, 2024).
- Recurring suspension coil spring failures on 2015-12-04 and 2016-12-02.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-06, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for a 15-year-old vehicle (29,101 miles).
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects since the 2018 brake issue.
- Immediate retests for failures show prompt owner action to rectify issues.
