This 2016 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 23,087 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring suspension and steering failures, coupled with recent tyre advisories, indicates significant wear and potential future costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,391 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures: Offside Front Coil Spring fractured (Dec 2025 FAIL), Nearside Front Macpherson strut top bush (Nov 2022 FAIL), Offside Front Macpherson strut top bush (Nov 2022 FAIL).
- Recurring steering/suspension failures: Nearside Track rod end ball joint dust cover (Dec 2025 FAIL).
- Recent tyre advisories: Nearside Rear Tyre slightly damaged (Dec 2025 FAIL), Offside Rear Tyre slightly damaged (Dec 2025 FAIL).
- Consistent low annual mileage: 6,391 miles/year suggests limited use, potentially leading to accelerated component wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-14, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, suggesting no odometer fraud.
- No major recurring brake or engine failures, showing general mechanical integrity.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) provides excellent safety assurance.
