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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,442 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of neglect, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,759 miles/year, averaging only 16,442 miles over 15 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Dec 2025): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure (Aug 2020) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS suspension failure (Sep 2024) — critical structural integrity.
  • DANGEROUS lighting failure (Sep 2024) — safety-critical system.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 28 December 2026 — current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage anomalies or fraud detected — consistent readings.
  • No recurring electrical failures — isolated issue.
  • No recurring exhaust system failures — isolated issue.
