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 69% pass rate and 29,978 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring tyre advisories and a recent suspension failure warrant careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,287 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated between 1,947 and 9,410 miles.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 15 instances from 2019 to 2025 indicate persistent wear.
- Major suspension failure (coil spring) noted in Jan 2026 MOT, requiring immediate attention.
- Major windscreen wiper failure in Mar 2021, though immediately rectified, signals past neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides significant peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for a 2013 vehicle, averaging 8,287 miles/year, suggests light use.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
