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

This 2013 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 43,598 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,223 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2025 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (5 major) and advisories (8 related) since 2019 indicate chronic neglect.
  • Tyre advisories (9 occurrences) and failures (2 occurrences) across multiple tests show persistent wear.
  • The 2025 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or SORN, raising questions about maintenance.
  • The 2017-04-15 MOT failure for worn brake pads and discs, combined with fluctuating brake advisories, signals poor brake maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,223 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • Valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
