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.
