AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 21,751 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues with tyres and exhaust require thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2024, but a significant jump to 104,346 miles in Aug 2024 is unusually high for a 17-year-old vehicle.
Things to check
- Unusually high mileage jump of 20,396 miles/yr equivalent before Aug 2024.
- Engine oil advisory recurring in 2014, 2015, and 2024 tests.
- Exhaust heatshields insecure advisory from 2014-07-30.
- Offside Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking advisory from 2018-07-23.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage until 2024, indicating regular use.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or suspension.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2009 model is excellent.
- Recent MOT pass in Aug 2024, despite high mileage, shows current roadworthiness.
