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

This 2011 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 24,831 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of recurring issues and immediate retests suggests reactive maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,184 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but shows a significant 201–202-mile drop between Jan 2023 and Feb 2023.

Things to check

  • Recurring steering rack issues (Feb 2019, Feb 2021, Feb 2023) indicate a chronic problem.
  • Persistent tyre advisories (Feb 2019, Jan 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2023) show a long-standing wear pattern.
  • Five major failures (lights, brakes, suspension, steering) across 10 tests reveal significant maintenance needs.
  • The 201–202-mile drop in mileage between Jan 2023 and Feb 2023 is unusual and warrants clarification.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,184 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017).
