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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 23,422 miles. While mileage is low, the consistent wear on critical safety components demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,481 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards (e.g., +6,378 miles from 2019 to 2020, then +3,045 miles from 2020 to 2021).

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension issues: Macpherson strut advisories from 2014 to 2017, then coil spring failures in 2025 and 2026.
  • Recurring brake wear: Front brake disc and pad advisories in 2017 and 2021, then major failures in 2026.
  • Major suspension failures: Offside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (Mar 2026).
  • Major steering failure: Offside Track rod end ball joint excessive play (Mar 2026).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-31, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • All past failures were promptly rectified and retested successfully.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and reliable vehicle.
