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 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 72,294 miles. The mileage anomaly and recurring tyre advisories further complicate the assessment.

The vehicle shows a significant drop in annual mileage from 8,555 miles (Nov 2019) to 51 miles (Jan 2023), then to just 1,000s of miles per year, indicating a period of very low or no use.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure (Jan 2023) followed by immediate retest PASS — indicates reactive maintenance.
  • 19-year history of reported head gasket and timing belt issues (community knowledge) — high risk of costly repairs.
  • Mileage dropped from 8,555 miles/year (Nov 2019) to 51 miles (Jan 2023) — suggests long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027 — no immediate retest costs.
  • Normal annual mileage (9,191 miles/year) — no excessive wear.
  • No recent major MOT failures or advisories since Jan 2026 pass.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) — strong safety credentials for its age.
