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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 41,304 miles. The vehicle's age and history of electrical issues warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,459 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, indicating normal usage over its 15-year lifespan.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2015-09-11, indicating a serious safety-critical system issue.
- Persistent tyre advisories across 4 tests (Jan 2022, Jan 2025, Jan 2026) suggest chronic wear or alignment issues.
- Recurring headlamp failures (Sep 2014, Sep 2015, Jan 2025) point to a recurring electrical or structural fault.
- Brake servo damaged advisory on 2015-09-11, though fixed, highlights a history of brake system neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-02, providing peace of mind for over three years.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (8,459 mi/yr) with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Jan 2026).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
