AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2015 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 18,681 miles. The timing belt is a known model weakness for this age.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,567 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Sep 2021, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024, Sep 2025) indicate a persistent wear pattern.
  • Brake pad advisory noted on 2025-09-20, suggesting imminent replacement costs.
  • First registration in 2015 means the timing belt is likely due for replacement soon, a known model weakness.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-20, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (4,567 miles/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No major recurring failures on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
