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 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 9,474 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the very low mileage combined with recurring suspension and brake advisories presents a significant risk.
The vehicle shows only 9,474 miles over 10 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer tampering.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 9,474 miles over 10 years (Mar 2019) — high fraud risk.
- Recurring suspension failures: Nearside Front Coil spring fractured (Mar 2025), Offside Front Coil spring fractured (Mar 2025).
- Recurring brake system advisories: 11 advisories across 3 tests (Mar 2024, Mar 2025, Feb 2026).
- Very low annual mileage: 2,060 miles/year (Feb 2026) — inconsistent with typical vehicle use.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent retest passes after initial failures, showing issues were addressed.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good overall safety features.
