AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Vauxhall has 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 17,648 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the repeated nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (463 mi/yr equivalent) before July 2017, but normal usage (6,090 mi/yr) from 2017 onwards, with no anomalies in the last 13 years.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories (coil spring, shock absorber, track rod) across multiple tests.
- Persistent electrical issues (headlamp, wiper, cv boot) throughout its MOT history.
- Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2016-11-28, indicating past neglect.
- Consistent low annual mileage (6,090 mi/yr) for a 2013 vehicle, suggesting limited use.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,090 mi/yr) since 2017, indicating light use.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects on the latest MOT (Mar 2026).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and reliable platform.
