AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 36,129 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues suggest a history of reactive maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,928 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops, but recent annual usage has been very low (e.g., 3,067 miles in 2024-2025).
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Mar 2019, Mar 2023, Mar 2024).
- Persistent tyre wear and damage advisories (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024).
- Recurring suspension and ball joint advisories (Mar 2022, Mar 2024, Mar 2026).
- Parking brake efficiency failure (Mar 2020) and excessive movement (Mar 2020).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
