AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2010 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 41,127 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' and requires immediate verification.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on engine oil (Jun 2023, Jun 2022) and suspension arm (Jun 2023, Jun 2022) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring advisories on tyres (Jun 2023, Jun 2022, Jun 2021) and exhaust (Jun 2023, Jun 2022) suggest neglected maintenance.
  • The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' as of the last provided data, requiring immediate verification.
  • The 2014-05-02 retest PASS followed a 2014-04-22 FAIL with no defect details, a red flag for unaddressed issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 8,711 miles/year, well below UK average, indicating light use.
  • Single past MOT failure (2014-04-22) was immediately rectified and passed on 2014-05-02.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
