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 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 19,770 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories indicates a vehicle that requires ongoing vigilance and potential future maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,006 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent increase in usage.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on brakes (13 items) and tyres (8 items) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
- Engine oil and coolant advisories (5 and 3 items respectively) are recurring, suggesting potential leaks or poor maintenance.
- Suspension advisories (3 items) and exhaust advisories (2 items) also show a pattern of wear.
- Two test failures (Nov 2019, Nov 2023) with no defect details provided, which is unusual and requires clarification.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,006 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
