This 2011 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 22,382 miles. The most critical issue is a severe mileage anomaly, with only 22,382 miles recorded over 15 years, indicating potential odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows only 22,382 miles over 15 years, a significant anomaly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 22,382 miles over 15 years (Jan 2011).
  • Recurring major failures: Brakes (4 failures), Emissions (4 failures), Suspension (3 failures).
  • Recurring advisories: Shock absorber (5 tests), Exhaust (5 tests), Brake system (9 tests).
  • Dangerous defect: Front sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (Jun 2023).

Working in its favour
