AI verdict BUY 76/100

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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 18,657 miles. While it shows age-related wear, the recent clean passes and responsible owner history make it a viable purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,283 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Front Sub-frame corroded (Jan 2023) — while not currently failing, this is a known 2011 Vauxhall weakness.
  • Service gap in 2020 — suggests a period of unverified maintenance or off-road use.

Working in its favour

  • Clean recent MOT history (Jan 2026) with no current advisories or failures.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over 15 years, averaging 9,283 miles/year.
  • No recurring major failures or the same system failing repeatedly.
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next year.
