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 70% pass rate and 26,870 miles. While recent failures were addressed, the consistent need for repairs on wear items like tyres and brakes suggests a higher ongoing maintenance burden.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,012 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Aug 2019) and brake pad wear (Jul 2021, Jul 2022) indicate a reactive maintenance approach.
- Multiple DANGEROUS defects (tyres, brakes) in 2021 and 2022 suggest a history of critical safety component neglect.
- The Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover was severely deteriorated (Jul 2021), a recurring issue.
- The Offside Front Tyre was worn close to legal limit (Aug 2019), a recurring advisory.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,012 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear on major components.
- All past failures and advisories were immediately rectified and passed on subsequent retests, demonstrating responsive ownership.
