AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 26,379 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of dangerous defects and persistent advisories, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 26,379 miles over 15 years, which is a critical red flag for a 2011 car and suggests potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2020-02-18, a critical safety defect.
  • Extremely low mileage of 26,379 miles for a 2011 vehicle, highly suspicious.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2020-02-18, 2025-10-14).
  • Persistent tyre issues, escalating from advisories to major failures (e.g., 2023-10-14, 2025-10-14).

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until 2026-10-14, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded since the 2025-10-14 retest.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2019.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe underlying design.
