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
