AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 35,594 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a significant service gap in 2024, raises serious reliability and maintenance concerns.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 73 miles recorded between March 2019 and July 2020, followed by a period of very low annual usage, indicating potential odometer fraud or a significant period of inactivity.
Things to check
- Recurring steering failures (Jul 2021, Oct 2022) and advisories (Mar 2018, Jul 2020) suggest ongoing suspension issues.
- Recurring tyre advisories (5 tests) and brake disc advisories (3 tests) indicate chronic wear and neglect.
- Engine oil advisory (Jan 2026) is a recent unresolved issue, suggesting poor maintenance.
- A 2024 service gap is highly unusual for a 2014 vehicle and warrants investigation.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent mileage trajectory post-2020, despite initial anomalies.
