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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 18,823 miles. The pattern of recurring issues and immediate retests suggests a vehicle that has been neglected or poorly maintained.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (6,011 miles/yr) for its age, with a suspiciously low 2,155 miles driven between Sep 2023 and Nov 2025.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2024-10-24 and 2025-11-03 indicate severe neglect.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2023-09-18, followed by immediate retest, signals critical safety issues.
  • Recurring brake advisories (2022-10-20, 2024-10-24) escalated to dangerous failures, a clear pattern of neglect.
  • Mileage trajectory shows only 2,155 miles driven between Sep 2023 and Nov 2025, a significant anomaly for a 2014 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-03, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • Consistent annual mileage (6,011 miles/yr) for its age, suggesting light use.
  • No major structural corrosion or suspension failures noted in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) provides a strong safety foundation for the model.
